In an increasingly connected world, detection and identification technologies play a crucial role in the security of various environments. Among these technologies, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems stand out for their efficiency and adaptability. Today, they are increasingly being adopted in various sectors, from logistics to security, illustrating their usefulness in meeting the future needs of businesses.
What is an RFID solution?
RFID systems use radio waves to communicate via a system of specially designed tags (labels or small boxes) applied to objects, animals or people for identification and/or tracking purposes.
Essentially, how RFID systems work can be explained in simple terms by answering the following question: how can you restock a shop while ensuring it always has the necessary quantity of products?
For example, you could carry out an inventory once a day or even twice a day to be really effective. However, this will take up large amounts of time and energy as well as being high-risk, because each missing product on the shelf is equivalent to a lost sale.
This is precisely where the RFID system comes into play. Thanks to this technology, each item is serialised, providing real-time information on the level of stock available in store and allowing managers to monitor product flow. As such, RFID systems offer a reliable, instant and continuous view of the products present. They are a solution that adapts to all environments and customer types.
UHF RFID solutions at IER
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID systems, offered in particular by IER, are used in a wide range of situations, such as warehouse inventory management, vehicle tracking and secure access control. But RFID is not limited to these uses. The general public is also familiar with RFID technology through contactless, NFC or electronic toll systems, although the latter do not fall under UHF technology. Their main advantage is their ability to operate without direct contact, enabling fast and accurate identification. Since this technology makes it possible to operate without direct contact, the RFID solution is very useful for regulating and securing flows.
All this makes RFID solutions a powerful asset for managing and securing inventory and anticipating supply needs!

The RFID system was originally developed during World War II to identify Allied aircraft. Since then, it has evolved to become a cornerstone of the technologies that we know today.
