Radio-frequency identification (RFID), is the use of an object (typically referred to as an RFID tag) applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader. Radio-frequency identification comprises interrogators (also known as readers), and tags (also known as labels). Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a radio-frequency (RF) signal, and other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. There are generally three types of RFID tags: active RFID tags, which contain a battery and can transmit signals autonomously, passive RFID tags, which have no battery and require an external source to provoke signal transmission, and battery assisted passive (BAP) RFID tags, which require an external source to wake up but have significant higher forward link capability providing great read range. ELOP - Dolphiscan offers a wide range of RFID tags, handhold and stationary RFID scanners and encoders, adapted to your needs. Our product range includes RFID tags with built in sensors for temperature, humidity, shock, and light. For world wide asset tracking, we can offer RFID units with built in GPS and satellite modem. The RFID protocol makes it possible to encrypt information, this
information can be used to protect your business from forgery. Electronic Product Code (EPC), a unique number, programmed in a RFID tag or label, makes it possible to identify every single product, together with asset tracking software, that gives you the opportunity to locate every product or asset.
