Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a relatively new AIDC technology, first appearing in tracking and access applications during the 1980s. These wireless AIDC systems allow for noncontact reading and consequently are effective in manufacturing and other hostile environments where barcode labels could not survive. RFID has established itself in a wide range of markets including livestock identification and automated vehicle identification (AVI) systems because of its ability to track moving objects. The technology has become a primary player in automated data collection, identification, and analysis systems worldwide.
