Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an upcoming technology which has application over a large domain of industries. It can be termed as the long term replacement for bar coding in the field of automatic data capturing. It has the potential to significantly change the way processes occur and companies operate. The last few years have seen several developments that have sped up the adoption of this technology. 1) The emergence of major consumer applications have brought RFID from an experimental technology into the mainstream. 2) The development of smart labels has also been a major thrust in its case against the existing bar codes. This paper discusses the technology involved in RFID as well as its real life application proffles. This is an attempt at understanding the technology better.
