Understanding the abbreviations in AutoID technology: RFID, NFC, RTLS, ORM, QR, OCR, UWB
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects. It is commonly used in supply chain management to improve inventory accuracy and streamline logistics processes. NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless communication technology that allows for contactless data transfer between devices. RTLS (Real-Time Location Systems) enable the real-time tracking and monitoring of assets within a facility. ORM (Optically Readable Media) includes barcodes, QR codes, and OCR (Optical Character Recognition), which are used to capture and interpret data from printed or digital images. UWB (Ultra Wide Band) is a wireless communication technology that enables precise indoor positioning and tracking.
