The RFID Weblog: RFID Has 18 Advantages over Barcodes

Filed in archive RFID Basics by Anita Campbell on December 21, 2005

Some of you send me emails looking for information about RFID, either because you want to learn more -- or you have to make a presentation to senior management.

Well, if you are in that situation, then a white paper I ran into today may be just the ticket for you.

The white paper is written by the Institute of electrical Engineers (the IEE). It is a nuts and bolts approach that explains how RFID works, especially in the factory setting. This diagram is from the white paper, showing products on a conveyor belt with RFID tags that are alternately read and written to:

Be sure to check out the list of 18 advantages that RFID has over barcodes, listed on page 9. It is the most exhaustive list I have ever seen.

Great! Glad it is of some help. I get a lot of requests for white papers and other materials that can be used for presentations, and this looked like perfect material.

Chris, thanks for your comments. Very thorough!

Some of the items are a matter of degree, not absolutes. And I believe there are those who might disagree with you regarding the capabilities of the EPC UHF Passive RFID, and might quibble regarding the capacity of ordinary bar codes.

But still, your input is valuable and appreciated.

Best,
Anita
