3.5 Radio frequency identification (RFID)

RFID utilises small radio receivers to tag items, (e.g. inventory) and
hence keep track of assets.

Benefits include:

 Real time information on location and quantity of items.

 Increased accuracy due to less reliance on physical checks.

 Risk of theft/obsolescence reduced.

 Better information for decision making and control.
