Knowing what you have and where it is sounds simple — until you're managing thousands of items across multiple sites. That's where RFID earns its place.
How RFID differs from barcodes
A barcode needs line of sight and a manual scan, one item at a time. RFID tags are read by radio — no line of sight, and many at once. Move a reader past a shelf or through a doorway and every tag answers in an instant.
Passive vs active tags
Passive tags are inexpensive and battery-free, read at short range — ideal for stock, tools, documents and access cards. Active tags carry a small battery for long range and real-time location of high-value or moving assets.
