Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System Components

An RFID system will most likely need to contain the following components:

• RFID tags: this is where the data to be captured is stored

• Antenna: the antenna are needed to "reach out" to the antenna in the tags; dock doors may require several antenna per door to ensure good readability of all the tags passing through

• Reader: the reader interprets the data in the RFID tag, much the same way a decoder works in a barcode scanner

• Middleware: some type of software that is capable of capturing all the interpreted RFID tag data and passing this information to a business software application, such as a warehouse, distribution, or inventory system
