Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology using electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags on objects. RFID powers supply chain visibility, inventory management, asset tracking, access control, and contactless payments across retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics.
