Upgrading from Barcode to RFID
Whether you are planning to implement barcoding as your inventory or asset management technology and would like to leave your options open for future implementation of RFID, or you already have barcode implemented and would like to upgrade to RFID, there are several things to consider.
Barcode technology utilizes labels made of paper or polyester (and possibly other materials) backed with an adhesive, which are printed with a barcode and possibly human readable information.
To upgrade to RFID, you would have to change your media to RFID smart labels, i.e.
Chances are that you will be using UHF Gen 2 RFID Labels and there you just need to select the tag according to the inlay size, chip sensitivity, memory size and antenna performance and tuning.
When buying a barcode printer (or check your existing printer), make sure that it has an option to be upgraded with RFID.
Market ScenarioThe global radiofrequency identification market is expected to exhibit a strong 15.6% CAGR over the forecast period from 2017 to 2023, according to the latest research report from Market Research Future (MRFR).
The market is expected to grow to a robust valuation of USD 31.8 billion by 2023, according to MRFR.The growing use of radiofrequency identification systems in retail, healthcare, defense, transportation and logistics, and other applications is the major driver for the global Radio-Frequency Identification Market.
Rising demand from emerging economies is likely to be the major driver for the global radiofrequency identification market over the forecast period.Key PlayersThe prominent players in the RFID Industry are: NXP Semiconductors N.V (Netherlands), Alien Technology (US), 3M Company (U.S), ACTAtek Technology (U.S), Axcess International, Inc.

The benefits of radiofrequency identification, including accuracy and errorless operations, have become increasingly apparent to various agencies in the region, which has resulted in growing use of RFID tagging in various applications.
The retail sector is likely to remain a key player for the radiofrequency identification market over the forecast period due to the widespread use of radiofrequency identification in the retail sector.
The use of radiofrequency identification in large supermarket chains across the U.S. and Canada is likely to be a major driver for the radiofrequency identification market in North America over the forecast period.Europe is also likely to hold a major share in the global radiofrequency identification market over the forecast period, as the region has experienced widespread adoption of radiofrequency identification systems in retail, healthcare, and numerous other sectors in the last few years.
âRadio Frequency Identificationâ technologies - RFID, âRadio Frequency IDentificationâ - allow the identification, at a distance and by means of radio waves, of any object provided with an âRFID tagâ.
This method of identification, which does not require contact between the labels and the reader, makes it possible to meet many needs.RFID technologies are therefore booming today, with applications already widespread.
and contributes to improving the traceability of products and goods.
In November 2005, the France Nature Environnement (FNE) association asked the Agency to assess the possible impacts of RFID technologies on the environment and human health, in particular with regard to the electromagnetic fields emitted by these systems.
A paragraph in the report nevertheless presents the position of the CNIL (National Commission for Informatics and Freedoms) on this subject, at the date of writing of the report.The Agency's work The collective expertise carried out by the Agency focused on: evaluation of the levels of electromagnetic fields generated by current RFID systems (collection of technical information, measurement campaigns), the search for data on the assessment of environmental impacts, assessment of human exposure (general and professional population), the referencing of any biological effects identified in the literature, assessment of health impacts.
The risks for the general population as well as for people exposed in the course of their professional activities were examined.To carry out its expertise, the Agency relied on a review of the international literature but also on the hearing of experts and industrialists working in the field of RFID: inventory of the characteristics and uses of RFID , regulations and dedicated standards, technologies used.
