RFID vs. Barcode
Unlike barcodes, which require an established line of sight and correct orientation with a scanner, RFID tags transmit identification data through almost any kind of packaging, so the contents of a case or pallet can be read and confirmed almost instantaneously without requiring individual product scans. By “tracking and tracing” RFID-generated data across the supply network and putting it in the context of detailed business process information. RFID can provide complete provide complete, real-time visibility into product lifecycle and supports strategic demand-driven supply network initiatives.
The differences between RFID and barcode:
● Human intervention is required to scan a barcode, whereas in most applications an RFID tag can be detected “hands off.”
● Barcodes must be visible on the outside of product packaging. RFID tags can be placed inside the packaging or even in the product itself.
● You must have “line of sight” to read a barcode. RFID tagged items can be read even if they are behind other items.
● The readability of barcodes can be impaired by dirt, moisture, abrasion, or packaging contours. RFID tags are not affected by those conditions.
● RFID tags have a longer read range than barcodes.
● RFID tags have read/write memory capability; barcodes do not.
● More data can be stored in an RFID tag than can be stored on a barcode
