<\/span><\/h2>\nRFID is a non-contact, wireless system wherein tags attached to objects can be automatically identified and tracked. Those tags contain electronically-stored information which an RFID reader can read at a distance. Thus, unlike traditional barcodes, the absence of line-of-sight between the RFID tag and the reading device is not necessary for it to be read; hence, RFID is a much more efficient and flexible item-tracking solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>The Rise of RFID Tagging\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nIn the recent past, RFID tagging has gained significant momentum due to the advancement of technology, increased digitalization of processes, and efforts from the government toward modernization of varied areas. Many sectors in this country utilize RFID tags and labels for different types of applications:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Retail and Supply Chain Management:<\/strong>\u00a0This retail uses RFID to track real-time inventory for loss reduction and ensures better availability of products. A country like India has such vast and diverse retailing sectors, so this is really necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Manufacturing:<\/strong>\u00a0RFID tagging in the manufacturing sectors promotes automation of tracking: inventory, assets, and quality control. It reduces errors, labour costs, and improves the overall efficiency by the help of RFID tags.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Transportation and Logistics:<\/strong>\u00a0RFID is altering the logistics arena in India and world over. Companies tag shipments and vehicles with RFID. This tags help ensure timely deliveries and losses due to theft or mismanagement.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Healthcare:<\/strong>\u00a0Indian hospitals use the technique of RFID tagging to track medical equipment, patient history, and drugs which eventually result in better health care outcomes. RFID tagging enhances efficiency in the medical set up due to the reduction of time spent during search for equipment and ensures that the right resources reach the patient at the right time.<\/span><\/li>\n

Government Initiatives:<\/strong>\u00a0The government of India is also taking benefits from RFID. This has to be in terms of so many public services. One of the most prevalent is the tagging system using RFID for vehicle tracking to collect tolls in India. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) brought an automatic system called FASTag, which uses the RFID system to allow automatic payments at toll plazas without halting and therefore helps reduce congestion and improve the flow of road traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
