RFID technology is used frequently today and has been around since the 1920s, but not many people know about, or understand it. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification and is used to store and retrieve information. This information is stored and retrieved using RFID tags or transponders. RFID tags are small and can be incorporated into many products. The tags have antennas that allow them to receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFID transceiver.

RFID technolgy has been around for a few years but we are just hitting the tip of the iceberg when it comes to its many uses. Most people don't even know what RFID is but odds are they have already been affected by it.

RFID tags, or radio frequency identification tags, consists of a microchip that can be attached to a product or an animal and transfers data with the help of radio waves in a wireless system. This data is beamed out by means of the RFID tags and the RFID reader is able to track this if it is in the line of sight even at a distance of many meters.

About RFIDRadio frequency identification or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an RFID tag. Visit http://www.bigsquid.org for more information on this). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. The reader converts the radio waves reflected back from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed on to the computers that can make use of it.

RFID (pronounced as separate letters) short for radio frequency identification. It is a technology, which uniquely identifies objects automatically using wireless radio communications.

Radio-frequency identification RFID is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.

While RFID offers some potentially remarkable opportunities, it also raises some concerns with regard to individual privacy and corporate espionage.

Back in the early 1990’s, Lowry Computer Products was a growing company, competing in the fast paced data collection industry. The company was on an aggressive expansion plan, which did not allow for operational inefficiencies. In an attempt to manage its rapid growth, Lowry turned to Enterprise 21 to help streamline operations and to assist its staff in keeping up with the vastly changing world of the bar code and data collection industry.  That was over ten years ago. Since then Lowry has acquired four companies and has became a leader in not just bar coding equipment and supplies, but a leader in RFID technology as well. These days, Lowry serves as both a premier data collection and RFID provider to such vertical markets as retail, government, automotive, and consumer packaged goods.

It is probably fair statement that Barcoding and RFID technology is very mature and established in USA and on the international ERP market.
