Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology component that operates through radio waves to identify a tagged object. You may see an RFID system in commercial or industrial industries like libraries, retail stores, or toll booths. These RFID tags can be detected through laser sensors and be used to track items along a supply chain.
The RFID system revolutionises the vehicle manufacturing industry as most countries nowadays use RFID technology. Below is the list of advantages it provides to vehicles.
WHY RFID?
1. Time-saver. A vision sensor in toll booths can effortlessly detect RFID tags. It means that you no longer have to roll down your windows for toll fee payments.
2. Convenience. Most RFID tags in several countries come with a capacitive proximity sensor that facilitates ultra-high frequencies from the tags. It allows laser sensors to perceive a long-read range for the tags, which result in swift access approval and lesser chances of a traffic jam.
3. Long-lasting. Both active and passive tags are high-quality enough to last a lifetime. Car owners are obligated to use active tags. They’re typically more expensive than passive tags because it’s battery-operated.
4. No duplication. An RFID system produces secure encryption and distinctive codes for each RFID tag. You don’t have to worry about counterfeit issues because your RFID access has its unique code.
5. Safety. RFID sensors at toll plazas, parking areas, or places that need vehicle identification have a rotary encoder and acceleration sensor that both senses your vehicle’s speed and angular position. Have you noticed that toll booths and parking lot areas have barriers? These barriers detect your vehicle’s speed and, at the same time, read your RFID tag.
Adopting an RFID based system and technology is the supply chain operators’ best choice for increasing efficiency and meet rising demands. There are many benefits it provides not only to the vehicle industry, but also to retail clothes industries, personnel identification, and the list goes on.
