Radio Frequency Identification is not a fresh technology, rather this concept has been around since World War II. In short, RFID tag consist of silicon chips and antenna that can easily transmit data to the wireless receiver. The major aim of this technology is to transmit the data through the means of a portable device, also called as a tag. These tags can be further divided into two parts active tag and passive tags. The passive tags cannot give complete information rather it provides brief information to the customer, so they cost less in comparison with active tags.

How RFID works

This technology encompasses a system that includes a number of components like tags, tag readers, Tag programming stations, storing equipment and tag inventory wand. The main function of rfid solutions is to provide exact location or information about a particular product, which may include information like color, price, and date of purchase.

Use of RFID Solution

The major use of RFID solution is to track the moving objects. In addition to this, it has several benefits like this technology can be deployed in libraries to read the traditional barcodes on library books, CD's DVD's, etc. The Radio Frequency tag entail a lot of information like it provides data regarding book's title or type of material, without having a need to create specific database. The information read through RFID reader is a substitute for traditional or standard barcode reader, usually visible at librarian desk.

Not only librarians, but this robust technology has proved boon to several other businesses. Like, one can keep track of incoming and outgoing vehicles thereby easily tracking the identity of the vehicle. Other than, vehicle tracking, it is commonly used in tracking of baggage, container tracking and apparel item tracking.

These solutions have truly replaced traditional magnetic stripe cards. The commonly functions of this technology include:

1.RFID solutions are the best way to manage the devotees especially in highly sanctified temples like Tirupathi on special occasions. Similarly, it can be used at cinema theater, railway booking center, bus ticket counters, passport offices for verification and renewal of the forms.

2.Another area where RFID solutions can be deployed is to reduce the train accidents. For example, if two or more trains are coming together on a particular track, they can exchange the RFID signals to avoid any mishap. It can also be used to locate the train on real time basis.

3.Last but not the least, RFID solutions can also prove helpful for the retailers, distribution center, manufacturers and the warehouses. Through this technology the retailers can improve the internal movement of goods, reduce the operational costs, maintain proper inventory and thus improve overall efficiency. Further, it is believed that RFID have potential to revolutionize pharmaceutical industry because through this solution the pharmacist can reduce counterfeiting. Thus overall result is better healthcare services.

There are several RFID solutions providers that offer the customer this technology, but selecting an ideal provider is a bit tedious task. Some people complain that these solution providers offer the technology at a much higher price that it is worth, but the main drawback of this technology is it is bit expensive.

In short, today RFID technology has become widespread in nature, so government should take steps to make this technology available to the common people at low rates by way of subsidies.
