RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology enables new types of applications for identifying and tracking objects or streamlining and monitoring processes. Technology can also be used to prevent misuse of objects, for example to prevent theft.
 
Its key components are an identifier and a reader, which operate on radio frequencies.

By placing these in suitable locations, even large areas can be covered, and basic information

can be stored on the identifiers. The data collected by the readers is then transferred for processing and refinement in information systems.

An advantage of RFID technology over other identification technologies is that data transfer between objects and readers is easier, as it can be done from a greater distance and does not require direct line of sight. Data transfer can take place through packaging. The reader can communicate with many tags simultaneously.​​

​

The advantages of RFID include:

​

​•    Identifiers are highly resistant to dirt and environmental conditions 
•    If desired, the identifiers are difficult to remove from their targets
•    No line of sight is required between the reader and the tag
•    Tags are also available for use with difficult materials (water, metal)
•    Long reading distance compared to other similar solutions
•    Fast reading
•    Multiple tags can be read simultaneously
•    Identification is automatic, no manual work required
•    Difficult to forge
•    Information security considered in implementations
 

​With our solution, you can track the movement, location and temporary storage of your items and process their property data. In addition, technology allows you to effectively prevent the loss or disappearance of your products. With current technology, the solutions are also cost-effective.

Here are a few examples of how advanced technology can be utilised:

 

Smart storage and logistics

 

In a smart warehouse, the system knows where the material is located, when it moves within the warehouse and when it enters and leaves the warehouse without manual recording. Similarly, material property data, such as identifiers, type information and date of manufacture, can be managed and the storage temperature of the material can be monitored.

 

The system is also capable of tracking shipments between warehouses. Errors can be avoided,

for example, by using technology that allows forklifts or cranes to identify the correct pallet to be moved during handling.

                                                        Tracking individual items

​

 

Traditionally, RFID technology has been used to track individual items, such as vehicles at customs stations and gates, animal identification and access control. Nowadays, in the tracking of material units, the inexpensive and small tag can be located, for example, in a laundry bag, a car tire or a wine bottle cap.

 

One useful application of the technology is in production process monitoring, where parts are marked at the start of production and the progress of the process is monitored with time stamps at different stages of the process. Tracking continues after the manufacturing process to storage and transfer to the product's place of use. The advantage is a continuous, up-to-date overview of the situation, allowing for quick intervention in exceptional situations and problems, avoiding damage and saving costs and resources.

 

This means that the object being tracked can be very diverse and its location is not limited to indoor or production facilities; the object can also be outdoors in the terrain.

 

The identifier can also be embedded in the material, for example in wood or concrete, or embedded in the ground.

The reader that reads the tags can be held in a person's hand, permanently attached, or mounted in a vehicle or other moving device.

 

There are countless applications for RFID technology, and its areas of use have grown rapidly.

The technology is mature and has been tested in industry and commerce as well as in everyday consumer use.​​​​​​​​​​​​
