Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the technology for the definite and touchless identification of objects of all types. It enables a quick and automatic data acquisition by means of alternating magnetic fields or radio waves. Different from bar codes, no direct visual contact is required, since non-metallic materials do not cause interference. Thus, RFID opens up new possibilities for the identification in logistics, materials management, production and service.

RFID is lastingly changing the supply chain processes. An early adoption and utili- zation of this technology in the procurement, production and logistics can release possibilities for your supply chain, which give you the crucial competitive advantage tomorrow.

The Siemens Global Network of Innovation offers you – today – a complete RFID portfolio ranging from products and systems, technical and operational consulting as well as process design up to technology, process and IT integration. Together with you, we will develop your logistics supply chain into a future-proof logistics network.
