RFID is one of the most exciting technologies that revolutionize the working practices by increasing efficiencies and improving profitability. The deployment of RFID in a large number of application areas is promising. In recent years, radio frequency identification technology has moved from obscurity into mainstream applications that help speed the handling of manufactured goods and materials. RFID technology provides a more granular visibility for industrial assets and inventory thereby offering a strategic advantage to the business. This paper introduces the basic mechanism of RFID technology, effectively addressing security and privacy issues in the short term. Finally, we discuss several challenges and obstacles to RFID adoption, as well as emerging technologies relevant to RFID.
Keywords- RFID principles; mechanism; advantages; limitations; applications; Auto ID
Introduction
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was first developed during World War II in order to distinguish between friend and enemy aircraft. Although the foundation of RFID technology was laid by past generations, only recent advances opened an expanding application range to its practical implementation. RFID is one of numerous technologies grouped under the term Automatic Identification (Auto ID), such as bar code, magnetic inks, optical character recognition, voice recognition, touch memory, smart cards, biometrics etc.
