Radio frecuency identification (RFID): high impact

Abstract

RFID, stands for Radio Frequency Identification, a term concerns the identification automatically without physical contact objects using radio frequency (RF). It is an emerging technology that has the potential to make a big impact with an efficiency of 100%, which actually required to make technology successful. Unlike the UPC (unique product code) that uses the bar code, RFID technology uses the EPC (electronic product code) that is specific to the item, not the type of product. This implies that each product is unique in its identification despite being the same product. Its current applications include from automated industrial systems, access control, animal identification and ePassports to applications medical, ticketing and tracking stocks. Currently there are many automatic identification systems, RFID making rank among the most promising. This article aims to show the qualities of RFID technology by a comparative table in front of their closest competitors on the market.
