Understanding RFID Technology in Depph

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless communication technology that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and d track tags attached to objects. Unlike barcodes, RFID does nott require direct line- of- sight or fizycal contact, making it ideal for high- speed, high- volume environments such as assembly lines, warehomes, and distribution centers.
