RFIDRFID = Radio Frequency IdentificationElectronic labeling and
wireless identification of objects using radio frequency Tag
carries with its informationa serial numberModel numberColor or any
other imaginable dataWhen these tags pass through a field generated
by a compatible reader, they transmit this information back to the
reader, thereby identifying the object10/24/2012
