Barcodes / QR Codes are a printed symbol which must be scanned with an optical scanner which must physically “see” the code to capture the item.
Barcodes are a great way to capture an individual item up close, but not so great when counting 1000s of items.
RFID
RFID collects product information from a tiny antenna inside the sticker at a rate of 100s of tags per second, at a distance of 10’ or more, and at an accuracy of 99%! This makes performing audits easy since you don’t have to physically touch the product to count it.
Let's look at a side by side between Barcode & RFID.
How RFID Data is Collected
An RFID reader transmits a radio signal, then wirelessly captures the information programmed into the tags.
THE BENEFITS OF AUDITING WITH RFID
Retailers are able to count their entire inventory daily. Frequent audits means better product visibility for maximizing sales eliminating stockouts. This also means new sales channels & revenue opportunities, better operational control, and happier customers!
And last but not least, you! You deserve the peace of mind knowing where your precious investment dollars are. RFID is like a digital license plate tracking each one of your retail investments.
