The barcode is the most used solution to identify products in the retail sector, but RFID is making a hole in this world. Large companies such as Decathlon, Inditex, El Corte Inglés or Mango are in the process of adding, or have already done so, this system to their merchandise circuit.

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is a technology that uses chips in order to track or identify objects at a distance. It may not seem like the most suitable option for your company, but its advantages can make you change your mind.

Stock control with RFID

RFID tags allow you to maintain better stock control. Each of them keeps unique information that differentiates all the articles from each other, even if they are the same model.

Another advantage offered by RFID fo...
