About RFID
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technologies open up an exciting new world of possibilities for businesses and governments to increase the efficiency of their operations and develop innovative new applications and services by allowing them to securely capture, track and manage their critical data in real-time.
The data may come from pallets in a warehouse, goods in a shopping cart, ID tags on students, patients, inmates and even from passports, credit cards and other documents.
Retail
RFID not only enables retailers to reduce costs by providing greater visibility of their inventory as it moves across the supply chain into the warehouse and the store, but also provides hands-free identification of the contents in a shopping cart for instant billing and reduced shoplifting.
Transportation & Logistics
In today’s flat world, RFID plays a vital role in helping companies to reduce the cost of transporting goods across their global supply chains by enabling faster and cheaper means of delivery and more accurate and efficient tracking of assets as they are shipped around the world. RFID also helps companies to optimize their fleet management and tracking capabilities, enhance their route planning, and improve customer service by increasing the accuracy of on-time deliveries.
Manufacturing
RFID solutions enable companies to transform their manufacturing operations by streamlining their production processes, increasing the utilization and management of their assets, minimizing waste and down-time, and reducing labor costs through higher levels of automation.
Government
RFID provides a compelling solution for governments to increase the quality and efficiency of their services and to improve the security and convenience of their citizens through the development and implementation of e-ID initiatives for passports, ID cards, driver’s licenses, and electronic vehicle registrations.
RFID is also playing an increasingly critical role in enabling governments to increase food safety through better tracking of livestock and agricultural goods, improve the quality of education services, and even reduce congestion in major cities through the roll-out of highly sophisticated smart transportation management systems.
Healthcare
RFID not only enables innovative applications such as patient identification and medical monitoring but also provides higher patient safety standards by avoiding errors in dispensing of drugs and management of medical equipments to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
