What is RFID?
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) is a technology that uses radio waves to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. These tags contain electronically stored information. RFID systems typically consist of a reader and a tag. The reader sends out radio waves, and the tag responds with its stored information. RFID is commonly used in supply chain management, inventory tracking, access control, and retail.
