RFID is a growing technology that is used in devices such as an EZ Pass. The products that TCG offers have tags that get powered by the reader’s signal, which differs from battery-powered tags in an EZ Pass.

Benefits

• Efficiency: Discover an item’s location more quickly and save time taking inventory, especially when items are stacked on top of each other.
• Affordability: Costs of RFID tags have decreased, making them much more attainable.
• Versatility: RFID technology can be used everywhere, from warehouses to retail, and even in healthcare.
• Backup: A good RFID system also makes use of barcodes with human readable text as a backup to the RFID in case a tag becomes damaged or there is interference from water or metal.
• Easy integration: Having a barcode on the RFID tag means you can continue to use your barcode system and slowly introduce RFID. There are also a number of sled style RFID attachments being introduced so it is possible to keep your existing hardware.

TCG can help suggest a software package and RFID tags or labels, but our focus is to provide hardware like the options shown below.
