RFID technology is continuously advancing, and the very near future will see science fiction become reality as Radio Frequency Identification makes its way into everyday functions...
The practical applications of RFID today are astounding. Any inventory could be instantly located in any warehouse, high risk security institutions are able to keep a constant eye on dangerous offenders, lost pets can be returned to their owners...the list goes on...
RFID systems consist of numerous specialized components, such as tags, rfid readers, edge servers, middle ware, and software. An RFID system allows for data to be transmitted from the tag to the reader, which in turn processes it for a particular use. The data sent can include identification, location information, price, color, and date of purchase. Radio Frequency Identification systems can also be employed for tracking purposes, which some point out as an invasion of privacy.
