Radio frequency identification, a system for remotely storing and retrieving data. RFID tags can serve to identify and track medications.

– Radio-Frequency Identification is an identification method that stores identification data on objects and uses radio waves to retrieve the data.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is increasingly used in everything from library books to key fobs that let office workers in their buildings to credit cards. They transmit very short range radio signals that a receiving device reads before it decides whether to let you check out a book, get to your cubicle or pay for that vente Cin [..]

Radio Frequency Identification tags are part of a tracking system that uses intelligent bar codes to track items in a store. Click here for a beginners article about RFID.

Functionally similar to a bar code, RFID is a small electronic chip with an antennae that stores information which can be read with radio waves. RFID chips are technically superior to bar codes, because they can be read from several feet away, and do not need line of sight with the reader to ensure success. The downside is that RFID is more expensi [..]

Radio Frequency Identification 

Radio Frequency Identification is an automatic identification method where data is stored and retrieved using RFID tags or transponders. It can be implemented on a small object attached to a product, animal, or person. Passive tags require no internal power source, active tags do.

Machine readable Patient or equipment Identification device using Radio frequency from 125 kHz to 5.8 Ghz.

A wireless data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. Like bar codes, they are used to identify items. Unlike bar codes, which must be brought close to the scanner for reading, RFID tags are read when they are within the proximity of a transmitted radio signal. Because RFID tags hold more data than bar codes, which gener [..]

RFID is a system that uses radio signals to locate and identify merchandise, batched products or transportation assets fitted with special electronic tags. The tags - also known as smart labels or intelligent tags - enable the automatic track- and-trace of merchandise/assets throughout the supply chain.

Radio Frequency Identification: Technology that uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag (RFID Tag) through a reader; it is usually used for identifying and tracking objects.

Radio Frequency Identification allows the automatic identification of objects, e.g., the products in a supermarket, and facilitates the capture and storage of data.
