How do RFID tags compare to barcodes?
Unlike barcodes, RFID tags are suitable for use in harsh and hazardous environments, in any weather. RFID tags do not need direct line-of-sight therefore don’t suffer from the same distortions that fraying or dirt, grease, rain, snow and ice build-up cause to barcodes. RFID tags can even be embedded in, or covered by, some metals and the information read/written through the metal.
