The RFID information from GOLDBRIDGE

What is RFID?
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. You want to know RFID information, first you shoud know want is RFID. It is a method that captures, stores and retrieves data using devices called RFID tags. The RFID tag can be on a small adhesive sticker that is attached to a product. These RFID tags contain antennas that enable them receive and respond to radio-frequencies.

What is the future of this new technology?
RFID applications are being implemented and envisioned in virtually every industry.

Why use RFID and not UPC bar-codes?
RFID tags have many important advantages over UPC bar-codes. RFID codes are long enough that every RFID tag may have a unique code, while UPC codes are limited to a single code for all instances of a particular product. Also, with RFID tags, a product may be individually tracked as it moves from location to location, finally ending up in the consumer’s hands. And most importantly, RFID does not have to be seen to be read, the readers do it for you.

What is the difference between an inlay and a label?
An inlay is the part of a label that contains the chip that is attached to an antenna. If an adhesive is added it is called a wet inlay. If not, then it is called a dry inlay.
