Fail-safe operation
Fail-safe operation describes the ability of an RFID system to remain reliably functional even during disruptions. It means that data capture and further processing are not interrupted immediately when individual parts of the system are temporarily affected. A high level of fail-safe capability supports process reliability because information remains consistently available in the workflow despite technical problems. It is based on a robust system architecture and a stable interface so that operations do not slow down unnecessarily. Fail-safe operation keeps material flow and postings running reliably even during temporary disruptions.
