What is RFID or Radio Frequency Identification technology?

The information imprinted on a barcode is fixed and cannot be changed. Llexan RFID tags, on the other hand, have electronic memory similar to that in your computer or digital camera to store information about the inventory or equipment. This information can be dynamically updated.

Radio frequency (RF) technology is commonly used to transmit and receive information wirelessly. Llexan works with software and hardware suppliers to provide customised RFID solutions, particularly for optical retailers, using modern wireless technologies which help your business track inventory and equipment.

Most material tracking systems employ barcodes that must be close to and within the "line of sight" of the barcode reader. This requires manual scanning. Barcodes run the risk of getting damaged due to mishandling or a harsh environment, which often prevents accurate reading by the scanner. Manual intervention is labour intensive, costly, and error-prone. In addition, scheduled scanning or manual methods cannot ensure the inventory remains up-to-date, due to oversights, errors, and internal shrinkage.

A typical RFID system comprises an RFID reader, a standard Windows based PC, and RFID tags or transponders. The RFID tag is attached or placed inside the equipment or inventory. The RFID tags contain micro electronic circuits that store product information. The tags transmit this information to a remote RFID reader.
