The operation of an RFID system is based on the electromagnetic interaction of three main components: Tag, Reader and Antenna.
- Signal Transmission: The RFID reader continuously emits radio waves through the antenna.
- Activation and Response: When these waves reach an RFID tag, the tag becomes active, if it is passive, by using the energy received from the reader, and sends its unique identification data back via radio waves.
- Data Processing: The signal captured by the reader is converted into digital data and transferred to computer systems, inventory management software or ERP platforms.
This process takes place within milliseconds and enables hundreds of items to be recorded accurately at the same time.
