Radio Frequency Identification
• RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification
• A technology that works on the principles of physics, “NOT A MAGIC”
• Is used for identification of o Items/Assets
o People
• Objectiveo Eliminate Data Entry Errors
o Reduce Human Intervention – Automation
o Seamless Integration, Transparency
o Improve Overall Efficiency
Barcode• NEED A LINE OF SIGHT TO SCAN
• QUALITY OF PRINT AND CONDITION OF
BARCODE NEED TO BE GOOD
• WORKING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
• READ OPTION ONLY
• SINGLE READ @ A TIME
• MANUAL SCANNING
RFID• ONLY NEED TO BE IN THE ELECTRIC-
MAGNETIC FIELD
• QUALITY NOT MUCH A CONCERN, ONCE
APPLIED AFTER VERIFICATION
• CAN WORK UNDER HARSH ENVIRONMENTS –
DIRTY, DUSTY, GREASY, HIGH TEMPERATURE,
HUMIDITY ETC.
• BOTH READ & WRITE OPTIONS AVAILABLE
• MULTIPLE READS @ A TIME
• NO HUMAN INTERVENTION - AUTOMATIC

• Activeo With battery, long read range, special features
o Finite life, expensive, memory (RO/RW)
• Semi Passiveo With battery, long read range
o Finite Life, expensive
• Passiveo No battery, short to long read range, form factors
o Inexpensive
