RFID (radio frequency identification) permits continuous identification, tracking and
documentation of all delivered, stocked and shipped goods in the incoming goods,
warehouse, production, production logistics and distribution departments. A small data
medium - referred to as SmartLabel, transponder or tag - is attached to every item, package
or pallet, and contains all important information. The data medium receives the power it
requires via an antenna which is also used for data transmission.
