RFID technology offers several advantages over traditional barcodes. It provides greater memory capacity, longer reading distances, and faster processing, all without requiring a line-of-sight to scan. This means RFID tags can be read through materials like clothing, bedding, and even around the human body, making it ideal for scenarios like scanning wristbands without disturbing the wearer. Unlike barcodes, which must be reprinted to reflect changes, RFID tags can be updated with new data at any time. They also offer improved security, as they are harder to duplicate than barcodes. Additionally, RFID has a higher first-time read success rate and is less affected by curved surfaces, which significantly enhances system efficiency- particularly in environments where accuracy and speed are critical.
