Common Applications

RFDC is the communications technology of choice for manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and logistics management, where it is used (most often with barcode scanning) to direct receiving, storage, retrieval, physical inventories, order picking, pick-slot replenishment, shipping, tracking returns, labeling, and other applications. RFDC is also used on the factory floor for applications such as work-in-process tracking, and labeling, and in hospitals for tracking pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. On the retail side, radio frequency terminals are increasingly used for price verification, order entry at POS, and direct store delivery. Wide-area radio networks are used in transportation for fleet dispatch and in field applications such as sales, service, and public safety where interactive communications with the host computer are a priority.
