A Brief About RFID Technology
RFID technology involves radio waves or radio frequencies which are used for better tracking, monitoring, and identifying objects. These objects can be products, birds, or even animals. It involves two components in it first one is an RFID reader which sends the radio waves and the second one is RFID tags that are attached to the object. The RFID tag transmits the feedback to the RFID reader and information gets stored in the cloud which can be beneficial for the business management to make future decisions.
Following are the ten benefits of having RFID technology in retail and eCommerce:
1) Every shop floor has thousands of individual items changing hands throughout the day. Items that get neatly displayed are discarded on fitting room floors stuffed into shopping baskets and checked out. Radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology gives the user access to detailed information about each item wirelessly as every single item available on the floor is valuable.
