Radio frequency identification, or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify individual items. There are several methods of identifying objects using RFID, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a product, and perhaps other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an RFID tag). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. The reader converts the radio waves returned from the RFID tag into a form that can then be passed on to computers that can make use of it.

• RFID tags can be read without line of sight
• RFID creates information that does not exist currently
• RFID eliminates the human error prevalent in operator ID systems
• Use of RFID technology is starting to gain acceptance in international logistics

RFID can be used as a stand alone system for inventory management completely replacing the need for barcodes, or in addition to barcodes for added security and accuracy.
