RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification, is a form of wireless communication that uses radio waves to identify and track objects. Unlike traditional barcode technology, RFID does not require a line of sight for scanning. This system consists of tags with microchips that store information and antennas to transmit data wirelessly to RFID readers.RFID vs. NFC: RFID is a broad technology used for long-range identification and tracking, ideal for asset management in extensive operations like warehouses. NFC is a branch of RFID designed for short-range (up to a few centimeters) communication, which suits secure, fast data exchanges such as digital payments. Moreover NFC tags can be read from compatible smartphones.NFC Use Cases: NFC tags enable wireless data transfer and interaction with a simple tap. They can be used for cashless payments, digital keys, device pairing, marketing, and event access.Industrial RFID/NFC Applications:Asset Tracking: Monitor tools and machinery with NFC tags.Safety Protocol Enforcement: Check safety measures with NFC checkpoints.Quality Control: NFC for instant quality checks on production lines.Workforce Time Management: Simplify clocking in and out using NFC.Supply Chain Oversight: Track products from production to delivery.Medical RFID/ NFC Applications:Patient Identification: NFC wristbands for quick access to medical records.Medication Authentication: Verify drug authenticity and manage dosages.Medical Equipment Management: Inventory and maintenance tracking.NTAG216 NFC Tag Sticker Specs:Chip: NTAG216, NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant.Memory: 888 bytes, suitable for URLs/text.Frequency: 13.56 MHz for quick, reliable scans.
