What the Benefits of RFID

RFID benefits the user similarly to other automatic identification technologies in that it reduces the need to collect data by cumbersome means like paper and pencil. Often the amount of data to be collected is so overwhelming and the time needed to process the information is so long that the only practical method of collecting the data is automatically with computer technology. Automatic data acquisition improves the value of the information in a system by making the information available sooner. In a manufacturing facility the value of finding out that work in process has been mistrusted is valuable if discovered quickly.

• RFID is ideal for dirty, oily, wet or harsh environments.
• RFID tags and readers have no moving parts so the system rarely needs maintenance and can operate for extended periods of time.
• RFID is an inexpensive form of automatic identification when measured over time.
• Unlike bar codes, RFID is very difficult to copy and is ideal for confidential identification of products, people or assets.
• RFID is fast: The tag and reader communicate in virtually milliseconds. Actual throughput depends on communication with the host computer, but the total speed of a good read is 30 to 100 milliseconds on a read-only tag.
