What is RFID and How Does it Work?

Radio requency identification, RFID, uses radio waves to automatically identify objects. Item data is stored on a microchip attached to an antenna, (called an "RFID transponder" or "RFID tag"). The tag transmits the data to a reader with it passes within range, and the reader can convert the signal to digital information that can be used by a computer for further processing.

RFID Important Basics for Chips Inlays and Tags

The metal electronic chip that can be embedded into plastic, label material or other weather proof devices are called Chips, Inlays or Tags.

These chips are basically data collection devices that hold a lot more inforamtion than a typical barcode. Putting information onto the chip is called "Encoding". Special RFID printers can Encode or wrote the information onto the RFID chip. You may also purchase RFID chips with your information already encoded or pre-encoded.

RFID Chips have two basic parts

1. A Microchip - for stroring data

2. An Antenna - for radio wave Reception or Transmission
