RFID systems benefits the companies cut costs, improve customer service, reduce labor, enables higher inventory accuracy and gives significant time savings in many retail processes.
No line-of-sight contact necessary
The major advantage of all kinds of RFID system is that they work contactlessly and require no line of sight.
RFID Can Read Multiple Tags Simultaneously
Using barcodes speeds up the inventory process and makes it more accurate, but still requires each asset to be scanned individually. Many handheld RFID readers for can read up to 20 tags or more simultaneously.
Visibility
Rfid tags need not be visible to a reader unlike barcodes which need to be presented to a scanner at a precise angle. This causes delays in scannings.
Speed of an RFID system
RFID transponders can be read at remarkable speed even in difficult conditions, and in most cases respond in less than 100 milliseconds.
Re-usability
The re-usability allows for some elimination of the manual task of replacing a barcode, thereby allowing for a faster, consistent and automatic data entry of information onto a new product. Re usability permits more efficient methods of processing items, events or transactions. Most of these advantages can be utilized in the warehouse and distribution environments too.
Business benefits
The technical benefits of RFID create the basis for real business benefits. When there’s less risk of errors and when there’s real-time information about how the asset is being used and where it’s located, RFID can increase the efficiency of processes and save money.
