Radio frequency identification

RFID specializes in radio frequency identification, a method of package monitoring used to keep track of shipped materials and other items. The process involves equipping an item with some form of identification, be it a serial bar code or biometric system such as retinal or fingerprint scanners.

While some of these methods require human interaction, such as scanning a bar code, others can be completely automatic, cutting down on personnel required to complete the task. Typically an item is equipped with a microchip that has a radio antenna attached. Observing computers then monitor the packages via the radio signal the packages emit. The microchip stores up to two kilobytes of data and allows for companies and shippers to include product information, company names, destination information, or other like data.
