1. Quick scan
Only one bar code can be scanned at a time. The RFID reader can recognize and read several RFID tags at the same time.
2. Small size, diversified shape
RFID is not limited by size and shape in reading, and does not need to match the fixed size and print quality of the paper for reading accuracy. In addition, RFID tags can be developed in smaller and more diverse forms to be applied to different products.
3. Pollution resistance and durability
The carrier of traditional bar code is paper, so it is easily contaminated, but RFID is very resistant to substances such as water, oil and chemicals. In addition, since the bar code is attached to a plastic bag or an outer carton, it is particularly vulnerable to breakage; RFID tags are used to store data in the chip and therefore can be protected from contamination.
4. Can be reused
Now that barcodes cannot be changed after printing, RFID tags can repeatedly add, modify, and delete data stored in RFID tags to facilitate information updates.
5. Penetrating and barrier-free reading
When covered, RFID can penetrate non-metallic or non-transparent materials such as paper, wood, and plastic, and is capable of penetrating communication. Barcode scanners must read barcodes at close range and without object obstruction.
6. Large memory capacity of data
The one-dimensional bar code capacity is 50 Bytes, the maximum capacity of 2D bar codes can store 2 to 3,000 characters, and the maximum capacity of RFID is MegaBytes. With the development of memory carriers, the data capacity has also continued to expand. The amount of data required to carry future items will increase, and the demand for the capacity of the labels to expand will increase accordingly.
7. Security
Since RFID carries electronic information, its data content can be protected by passwords, making its content less susceptible to counterfeiting and alteration.
In recent years, RFID has attracted attention due to its features such as remote reading and high storage capacity. It can not only help a company significantly increase the efficiency of goods and information management, but also allow sales companies and manufacturing companies to interconnect, so as to receive feedback information more accurately, control demand information, and optimize the entire supply chain.
