# RFID vs Barcode: A Personal Journey in Inventory Management ## My Experience with RFID and Barcode Systems In my years managing warehouse operations, I've had hands-on experience with both **rfid codigo de barras** technologies. I recall a particular implementation project where we transitioned from traditional barcode scanning to an RFID system. The difference was remarkable - while barcodes required line-of-sight scanning, RFID allowed us to count hundreds of items simultaneously without direct visibility. This personal experience convinced me that each technology has its specific applications depending on operational needs. ## The Technical Comparison: RFID vs Barcode ### How RFID Technology Works RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. These tags contain electronically stored information that can be read from several meters away. ### How Barcode Technology Works Barcode systems use optical scanning of printed patterns that represent data in machine-readable form. Traditional barcodes require direct line-of-sight and proximity to the scanner. ## Technical Specifications: RFID vs Barcode Products ### RFID Reader Technical Parameters **Model:** TIANJUN RFID-8500 Industrial Reader **Frequency:** 860-960 MHz UHF **Chip Code:** Impinj Monza R6-P **Read Range:** Up to 12 meters **Dimensions:** 210mm × 145mm × 45mm **Interface:** Ethernet, RS232, GPIO **Power Supply:** 12V DC, 2A **Operating Temperature:** -20°C to 70°C **Read Rate:** Up to 750 tags per second *Note: These technical parameters are reference data.
