In an increasingly connected and data-driven world, businesses are turning to smart technologies to streamline operations, enhance security, and improve efficiency. One of the most transformative technologies in this space is RFID—Radio Frequency Identification.

This guide explores what RFID is, how it works, its key applications, and how NDAS Phils Inc. can help your organization harness its full potential.
🧠 What Is RFID?
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It’s a wireless technology that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects.
Key Components:
- RFID Tag: Contains a microchip and antenna. Can be passive (no battery) or active (battery-powered).
- RFID Reader: Sends and receives signals to communicate with tags.
- Antenna: Facilitates the transmission of radio waves between the reader and the tag.
- Software System: Manages data collected from RFID readers and integrates with business platforms.
Unlike barcodes, RFID does not require line-of-sight scanning and can read multiple tags simultaneously, even through packaging or obstructions.
🔍 How Does RFID Work?
RFID systems operate by sending radio waves from a reader to a tag. The tag responds with stored data, which is then processed by the reader and sent to a software system.
Process Overview:
- The RFID reader emits a signal.
- The tag receives the signal and transmits its data.
- The reader captures the data and sends it to a database.
- The system processes and displays the information in real time.
This process happens in milliseconds, enabling fast and accurate tracking of items, people, or assets.
