RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a new technology making use of radio frequency to do non-touching, two-way data transit between the reader and the electronic tag to identify target and exchange data. Because it is non-touching; it can work from long distance; it is fit to work in an unfavorable environment; it can identify moving target, it is widely used in industry, commerce, storage...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that has been in use since the 1940’s; however, practical business applications are more recently being developed. Dell Computers looked at their Xiamen, China manufacturing facility to see if RFID technology could result in improved efficiencies with quick payoff. The resulting scorecard showed areas within their facility that RFID technolo...
