Why RFID tag ?

What are the specific benefits of using RFID?

• Durability: When a paper or vinyl barcode tag becomes worn, torn, or simply dirty, it’s useless. RFID tags aren’t hampered by some common problems that affect barcode scanning, such as dirty, torn, or obstructed labels. Barcode labels are susceptible to these problems because they’re typically printed on paper.
• Expanded Read Range: Where barcodes require a scanner to read every tag manually, RFID can track multiple tags simultaneously, transmitting data, eliminating the need for a direct line of sight between the scanner and tag. RFID also offers a longer read range, up to 100 feet away, versus 20 feet for a barcode laser scanner.
• Hack-Proof Security: Barcodes can be fully duplicated with little more than a photocopier. By contrast, programmable RFID tags offer advanced data encryption, which thieves and hackers cannot replicate, making this technology the emerging choice for product authentication.
• Large Quantities: Companies that utilize barcode tracking software require employees to scan each label separately. But when a business uses RFID tracking software, potentially hundreds of tags may be read per second, as radio signals from the reader activate the tags.
• Read/Write Capabilities: RFID tags can be programmed with unique data about an item, such as immunization histories or first-in-first-out rotations for material assets, like laundry tags. This data can be quickly updated remotely via a mobile RFID scanner, where barcode scanners require manual downloads to a central database.
