About RFID
Radio Frequency IDentification, or RFID, is a technology used to identify, track and trace objects using radio waves. RFID enables signficant improvements in tracking, authentication, access and data capture, in both existing and new applications.
We’ve created RFID FAQs and a multimedia training presentation called RFID 101, to get you up and running quickly in your application.
RFID solutions provide significant benefits:
- End-to-end track and trace capabilities reduce counterfeiting, theft, billing disputes and charge-back fees while protecting the brand
- Real-time, automated data capture reveals opportunities for process improvement, increased efficiency and cost control opportunities
- Specific data such as manufacturing location; ship date, lot number, etc. is associated with the individual product, cartons and/or pallets supporting simpler and more effective recall or product tracking processes
- Elimination of line-of-sight, position or quality requirements of the product and/or product labeling; manual data entry and operator error plus increased read range enables faster, more accurate inventory management
- Just-in-time inventory resupply, from manufacturing through distribution to point of sale reduces costs and out-of-stocks, increases inventory turn and creates higher customer satisfaction
Every day the experts at Avery Dennison RFID help customers enable improvements in tracking, authentication, access and data capture applications such as:
- Supply chain, inventory and logistics
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare
- Library, media, documents and files
- Contactless cards and tickets
- Industrial and manufacturing
