For a more budget-friendly option, barcodes are often more practical.</p></div></div></div><h2><span id="what-is-rfid"><b>What is RFID?</b></span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">RFID stands for </span><b>Radio Frequency Identification, a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects automatically.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> It includes a tag attached to an item and a reader that picks up the tag鈥檚 signal. The tag holds information that the reader can capture without needing to touch it.
