The first use of barcodes was to label railroad cars, but they were not commercially
successful until they were used to automate supermarket checkout systems, a task in
which they have become almost universal. Their use has spread to many other roles as
well, tasks that are generically referred to as Auto ID Data Capture (AIDC). Systems such
as attempting to make inroads in the AIDC market, but the simplicity, universality and low
cost of barcodes has limited the role of these other systems. It costs about US$0.005 to
implement a barcode compared to passive RFID which still costs about US$0.07 to
US$0.30 per tag.
Barcodes can be read by optical scanners called barcode readers, or scanned from an image
by special software. In Japan, most mobile phones have built-in scanning software for 2D
codes, and similar software is becoming available on Smartphone platforms.
RFID
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of an object (typically referred to as an RFID
tag) applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of
identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters
away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and
processing information, modulating and demodulating a radio-frequency (RF) signal, and
other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the
signal.
There are generally three types of RFID tags: active RFID tags, which contain a battery and
can transmit signals autonomously, passive RFID tags, which have no battery and require an
external source to provoke signal transmission and battery assisted passive (BAP) which
require an external source to wake up but have significant higher forward link capability
providing great read range.
Today, RFID is used in enterprise supply chain management to improve the efficiency of
inventory tracking and management.
