There has been a revolution in tracking and tracing of products and goods in the supply chain using passive radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. Recommendations to the suppliers have been released to various major retailers and government agencies after realizing the potential of RFID systems. This paper outlines some research done to identify a set of parameters which can help us in comparing the performance of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) passive RFID tags to be set as benchmarks. This paper is published on the notes of the above paragraph to provide a survey on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Primarily the RFID tags were developed to eventually replace barcodes in supply chains due to their advantages of being able to be read wirelessly and without line of sight, they contain more information than barcodes, and are obviously more robust. The RFID technology did not stop at item-level tagging. This paper tries to unfold the various studies and research done on the RFID beyond their just feature of being used as a tag. It tells us about the latest technology research that focuses on locating and tracking labeled objects that move using RFID. Passive radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are revolutionizing the way products and goods are tracked and traced in the supply chain. Radio frequency identification (RFID) and barcode technology are similar in some ways as they both are an automatic identification technology. Nowadays RFID is mostly involved in numerous tasks including managing supply chains, tracking livestock, preventing counterfeiting, controlling building access, and supporting automated checkout. This paper highlights the RFID technology, its working, its architecture and its applications. With the help of RFID the world is moving towards automation with reduced labor levels, enhanced visibility, and improved inventory management. This paper also underlines the different types of RFID tags. RFID is applicable in many fields like retail industry, agriculture, vehicle management, underwater applications, healthcare, smart homes and for security and safety purposes to name a few.. It enables distant identification unlike earlier bar-code technology it does not require a line of sight. This paper also addresses current RFID technology in terms of systems, components, and propagation, and provides a look forward towards its future applications.
