Hardware
Hardware is everything in an RFID system that can be physically seen and touched as a device or component. It includes the technical parts used to label objects, detect them and read out information. Unlike software, hardware is the visible and installed part of a system. In the RFID context, this often includes the RFID reader, which captures data from labelled objects. The hardware required depends on where the system is used and what task it is intended to perform. Suitable hardware provides the basis for reliable automatic identification in production and logistics.
