Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, is a technology that uses radio waves to automatically identify goods or people by reading a microchip or tag attached to them.
A typical RFID system is made up of three components: tags, readers & a host computer system. RFID is evolving as a major technology enabler for tracking goods and assets around the world.
The application of RFID is limitless. Examples of RFID applications include, but not limited to: • Retail • Asset tracking • Payment system • Manufacturing automation • Product security / Building security • Supply chain management & inventory control • Access control & personal identification • Maintenance • Ticketing • Vehicle identification
Use of RFID technology can increase business productivity and reduce associated costs. RFID hardware and software have advanced dramatically in recent years.
Technical staff and managers charged with driving RFID forward within their organizations must understand how to adopt the right technology, the importance of standards developments and emerging industry best practices to complete a successful project.
Who should attend: • Technology staff involved in developing RFID technology & its applications (tags, readers,antenna) • Managers & engineers responsible for RFID system integration • Vendors, suppliers & manufacturers of RFID systems • Anyone requiring an appreciation of RFID systems & principles
