Records Management and RFID

RFID or "Smart Labels"

RFID is Radio Frequency IDentification. It is an automatic identification technology whereby digital data encoded in an RFID tag or “smart label” is captured by a reader using radio waves. Put simply, RFID is similar to barcode technology but uses radio waves to capture data from labels (tags), rather than optically scanning the bar codes on a label. An RFID scanner does not require the tag or label to be seen to be able to read its stored data, but of course a label may be printed with a barcode and other text. An RFID printer programs the RFID chip in a label and also prints text and/or barcodes on the label.

RFID Label Printers
RFID label printers print a label with text and optionally barcodes. At the same time as printing, the RFID chip in each label is programmed. High Frequency (HF or 13.56 mhz) or Ultra High Frequency (UHF Gen2) tags are supported.
