What is the difference between barcodes and RFID for retail?Barcodes require a direct line of sight for scanning one item at a time, making them ideal for POS. RFID uses radio waves to read many tags at once without line of sight, making it superior for rapid inventory counts and supply chain tracking. We can help you decide on the right mix for your retail needs.
