An ADC (Automated Data Collection)

technology that:

Uses radio-frequency waves to

transfer data between a reader

and a movable item to identify,

categorize, track..

Is fast and does not require

physical sight or contact between

reader/scanner and the tagged

item.

RFID Tags

•Tags can be attached to almost anything:

– Items, cases or pallets of products,

high value goods

– vehicles, assets, livestock or

personnel

•Passive Tags

– Do not require power – Draws from

Interrogator Field

– Lower storage capacities (few bits

to 1 KB)

– Shorter read ranges (4 inches to

15 feet)

•Active Tags

– Battery powered

– Higher storage capacities (512 KB)

– Longer read range (300 feet)

RFID Enabled Kanban

-An RFID Reader is a device that has

antenna which emits radio waves at a

given frequency to activate tags within its

range

-Upon receipt of RFID radio signal, a tag

sends information stored in its memory back

to the reader

- The reader then converts data into digital

information & forwards it to the appropriate

application

- Readers can be Hand held or stationary
