RFID take me away!!!!!
What the heck is RFID you say?
It will most likely be the future of inventory control. Or at least I hope so.
I hate inventory time. Every so often, monthly for us with spot checks in between, you have to go through your Professional Shop and count your inventory just like any other business. RFID technology could speed up the process. It si quite often used for colecting tolls on highways now.
RFID stands for radio frequency identification. It is basically an identifier placed on each inventory item whereby digital data encoded in the tag or “smart label” is captured by a reader using radio waves. Put simply, it is similar to bar code technology but uses radio waves to capture data from tags, rather than optically scanning the bar codes on a label. RFID does not require the tag or label to be seen to read its stored data—that's one of the key characteristics of this type of system. In passive systems, which are the most common, an RFID reader transmits an energy field that “wakes up” the tag and provides the power for the tag to respond to the reader.In the future when the technology becomes more affordable I hope to implement in my Professional Shop. At inventory time I’ll simply have somebody walk through the Pro Shop and capture all of our inventory information from our RFID tags and save a lot of headaches.
