CLS RFID Solutions.
21st Century Automatic Identification
RFID is set to become one of the fastest growing technologies in the world. Giving the ability to identify items electronically.
Unlike bar codes RFID is a contactless technology and therefore requires no "line of sight".
Again, unlike bar codes, RFID devices have the ability to be written to as well as read from.
Business case
There is an ever growing demand for reducing costs in business. One way of achieving that is higher throughput of goods.
RFID offers significant advantages over traditional methods of identification, allowing multiple items to be read at once. Imagine a pallet of goods being taken into a warehouse where the reader reads every box label simultaneously.
A major food retailer recently converted from bar code to RFID for the distribution of chilled food. This change represented a saving of one day in the distribution cycle, thus leaving the food on the retailers shelf for one day longer
