Why Is RFID Technology Necessary in Any Industry?
RFID technology can quickly and efficiently obtain data in asset tracking and smart identification, so RFID applications have brought far-reaching benefits to many industries.
Items in traditional warehouses have barcodes. Actually finding the barcode on each item is a very slow process, so warehouse asset inventory is a very time-consuming process. When using RFID, no manual intervention is required, and companies can quickly and efficiently complete inventory checking every week to ensure that all problems can be discovered and resolved in time.
RFID does not require employees to hold bar code scanners to find and scan bar codes on items. On the contrary, it can automatically liquidate assets in seconds. Items are marked with smart RFID tags, and hand-held scanners or fixed readers can automatically emit radio frequency signals every few seconds to “power” these tags, and the acquired data will be transmitted to the back-end application.
RFID also provides convenience for the retail industry. For example, RFID technology can alarm automatically when clothes falling on the floor, and it also can help to track and analyze whether clothes of certain sizes need to be replenished in the warehouse; It can also establish a supply-demand balance process as needed. Then it can transfer excess supply to different locations, so it can reduce the burden on retail branches from maintaining too much inventory.
Emergency medical service vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, and senior first responders, can use RFID technology to track these expensive equipment. The loss of a medical defibrillator may cause 20,000 USD for the organization. But if it is equipped with RFID technology, the possibility of losing them will be greatly reduced. It can definitely save a lot of time.
RFID Technology also provides an ideal solution for weapons management in the military and private security industries. RFID technology can not only be built into the weapon itself, but also be set in the weapon cabinet to track who is carrying which weapons and whether these weapons have obtained the necessary pre-approvals.
Another important application scenario of RFID is document management. Because paper copies of documents must be kept for a certain period of time, many companies still use paper files and folders. RFID applications will make it easier to track the location of documents or folders, which provides a high level of security and management for paper materials such as contracts, books, manuscripts, medical records, and case files.
Obviously, RFID can bring actual benefits to many industries. It can help increase productivity, provide reliable data information, and improve the visibility and traceability of assets.
