                 Radio 
                  frequency identification (RFID) is the concept of identifying 
                  a unique object or person using a radio frequency transmission. 
                  It is a technology that connects objects to Internet, so they 
                  can be tracked, and companies can share data about them.  
                   
                  RFID is more than just an ID code, it can be used as a data 
                  carrier, with information being written to and updated on the 
                  tag. RFID has been applied in dozens of industries, for example, 
                  in vehicle and personnel access control, anti-theft systems, 
                  asset tracking and supply chain automation.  |
