RFID – Radio Frequency IDentification
Product Description
RFID enables improved inventory control through quick and accurate stock takes. RFID is an innovative technology which utilises “smart” tags which are attached to stock items.
These tags are then linked to stock information on a database, such as the product details, e.g. size, colour, style of a shirt etc.
Hundreds of tags can be read per second, enabling thousands of tags to be read in a matter of minutes. Each tag has a unique ID and cannot be read twice ensuring that there are no duplicate counts.
