“Imagine going to the grocery store, loading up your cart with a ton of stuff and just walking out…you get in your car and receive a text, the bank has deducted your shopping bill amount precisely. You drive home happily, knowing that you will never have to stand in a line or swipe a card again while buying groceries.”
RFID is the answer to all the prayers of overwhelmed grocery shoppers and traders who are drowning in inventory lists to track an item in a massive warehouse. Radio Frequency Identification is a new technology that helps in streamlining work processes through tracking and identifying the location of objects.

The main components essential for RFID to function are the reader and the tag. The tag is a transponder that has been programmed with information and the reader is a decoder that has to interpret the data. A scanning antenna on the reader receives electro-magnetic signals from the tag and then signals a system to store the relevant data.
Everyone is to gain from this time saving technology which is a boon to commercial, security and even personal aspects of modern day living. For instance, an automobile manufacturer can keep tabs on the progress of production by tracking the products’ progress through the assembly lines. A pharmaceutical company with many items in many warehouses can keep tabs on which items are placed in which location.
