Radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna technology allows an organization to capture, move, and manage information to and from every point of activity within a business more easily. RFID uses radio waves to exchange data between an RFID reader and an electronic RFID tag. The RFID tag is attached to an object, such as a shipment of goods. When the goods pass within a certain distance of a reader, the information or data on the tag is exchanged or “read,” thereby allowing organizations to track the movements of products and goods.
The use of RFID antennas gives businesses access to real-time inventory and asset management with fewer errors and increased productivity. From inventory, shipping and receiving, to supply chain management, applications of RFID technology can be beneficial for any industry. RFID technology is ideal for a variety of applications. This technology works effectively and efficiently in industries with large amounts of inventory. RFID technology is frequently used in businesses from warehouses and distribution centers to airports and hospitals to keep track of assets. Our broad offering of RFID products is designed to allow businesses to run more efficiently and accurately. Applications of this technology are widespread, and our product solutions have been used in a variety of markets.
Medical
Tracking medical equipment, supplies, documents, and even patients can be a difficult task in the healthcare industry. Utilizing RFID antenna technology can help streamline this process and assist hospitals in reducing stolen equipment, increasing patient safety, and keeping costs down without additional staff.
Retail
The use of RFID antenna technology in retail environments helps ensure the shelves are always stocked. RFID inventory checks are automatic, so they are real-time and more efficient than manual inventory checks. Managers can always know what they have in stock and when they need to make additional orders.
Manufacturing
RFID antenna technology can be used in manufacturing to track goods from the moment they enter the operation to assembly and shipment. This assists managers in monitoring the speed and accuracy of the production line, inventory levels, and quality assurance.
Distribution Centers & Warehouses
It is important for distribution centers and warehouses to be fast and accurate when shipping and receiving products. Using RFID antenna technology helps cut time and errors. It also provides up-to-date information on what products are where, without having to open every box, so workers can focus on processing additional orders.
Transportation
Baggage handling is a perfect opportunity for the transportation industry to utilize RFID technology to help reduce labor costs while also increasing efficiency of baggage sorting. Using RFID antennas to help track luggage ensures bags are in the right place at the right time, ultimately resulting in cost savings and happy customers.
