This document discusses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and its applications. RFID uses radio waves to transfer data between a reader and a tagged item to identify and track objects without requiring physical contact or line-of-sight. RFID tags can be read-only, write-once read-many, or read/write. RFID readers remotely power tags, establish data links, and can read 100-300 tags per second. The document outlines how RFID can help with inventory management, assembly process control, supply chain integration, and other applications in manufacturing, logistics, retail, security, and location tracking.

RFID = Radio Frequency IDentification. An ADC (Automated Data Collection) technology that: uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data between a reader and a movable item to identify, categorize, track.. Is fast and does not require physical sight or contact between reader/scanner and the tagged item. Performs the operation using low cost components. Attempts to provide unique identification and backend integration that allows for wide range of applications. Other ADC technologies: Bar codes, OCR
