RFID – Radio Frequency Identification
RFID is a wireless Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technology that allows for readings to be taken without contact. RFID is quite effective in hostile environments where barcode labels would not survive. The technology has become a significant player in automated data collection systems worldwide. New generation transponders have a lower cost per unit offering read/write electronic storage capabilities. Reliability tests and current installations conducted by ILI has proven that the technology can be used in harsh conditions including both surface and down-hole applications.
An RFID transponder is a ruggedized data carrier that is used in many diverse applications:
- field maintenance
- asset tracking
- inventory management
- security
The transponder is very diverse and has been constructed to be highly durable, resisting a wide variety of environmental effects, including:
- moisture
- temperature
- shock
- vibration
- abrasion
- corrosion
