Radiofrequency Identification

RFID identification, also known as Radiofrequency Identification, is a technology that uses radio waves to store and retrieve information from special stickers called RFID tags. These tags can be read from a distance using devices like scanners. This technology is commonly used in the logistics and transport sector to track and manage items as they move from one place to another.

In this context, let’s say a logistics company wants to keep track of packages as they are transported. They attach RFID tags to the packages. These tags contain information about the packages. As the packages move through different stages of the transportation process, RFID scanners placed at various points can read the information from these tags without needing direct contact. This makes it easier and faster to keep tabs on packages, ensuring that they are correctly identified and routed to their intended destinations.
