# RFID Tag ## What is an RFID Tag? An **RFID tag** is a small electronic device that consists of a microchip and an antenna. It is used for storing and wirelessly transmitting data to an RFID reader via radio waves. Unlike barcodes, **RFID tags** do not require line-of-sight to be read and can be embedded within objects, making them incredibly versatile for tracking, identification, and data collection across numerous industries. ## My Personal Experience with RFID Technology I first encountered **RFID tags** professionally while working on a supply chain optimization project. My role involved analyzing asset tracking efficiency. I have a natural aptitude for systems thinking and process mapping, which allowed me to quickly grasp how **RFID** networks could create visibility. I formed the opinion that passive UHF **RFID tags** were a game-changer for logistics, a view solidified after seeing a 30% reduction in inventory search times during our pilot. ### A Skillful Application: Inventory Management A specific case where my skill in data analysis shone was using **RFID tag** data to predict stockouts. By analyzing the movement patterns of tagged items, we built a model that flagged potential shortages weeks in advance. This practical application of **RFID** data went beyond simple tracking and added strategic value. ## Technical Specifications of a Sample UHF RFID Tag *Here are the detailed technical parameters for a typical passive UHF RFID inlay tag.
