RFID TECHNOLOGY IN THETEXTILE INDUSTRY

Abstract

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a wireless communication technology that is used in physical markers (RFID tags) to mark products. RFID is being increasingly applied in everyday life and thus is competing with widely used bar codes. RFID technology can be used to build systems aimed at automatic identification of tagged objects. In production- commerce plants in the textile sector it can enable strict control over both production and storage/sale processes. The best thing about RFID technology is that it is functional, with no need to 'see' the tag by the interrogator. When a tagged object enters the reading zone of an interrogator, the interrogator signals the tag to transmit its stored data to the controller via radio waves. Unlike bar codes technology, RFID can be much more effective in the process of production and storage of certain objects. Undoubtedly, both production and commerce companies in the textile branch will significantly benefit from RFID applications.
