INTRODUCTION
In the transportation and logistics industries, RFID is found in a wide array of applications, as more companies begin conducting new pilots and implementations. Even applications within the same market may differ drastically from one another. This presentation focuses on the use of RFID in the area postal services.
WHAT IS IT RFID ?
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a generic term that is used to describe a system that transmits the identity (in the form of a unique serial number) of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves
TYPES OF RFID
An RFID tag is read when the reader emits a radio signal that activates the transponder, which sends data back to the transceiver. There are two types of transponders, which correlate to the two major types of RFID tags:
Passive transponders and RFID tags have no energy source of their own, relying on the energy given off by the reader for the power to respond. Cheaper, passive RFID tags are the most likely to be used for consumer goods. An active transponder or tag has an internal power source, which it uses to generate a signal in response to a reader.
CONCEPT OF RFID
A transponder (a microchip with an antenna) is a placed on an item and then a reader (a device with one or more antennas) is used to read data off of the microchip using radio waves. The reader passes the information to a computer, so that the data can be used to create business value.

The global market for RFID systems, including tags, in this sector will grow extremely rapidly to be $3 billion Demand may be much larger if current efforts to tag individual items gain widespread acceptance. In due course, over one trillion postal items will be tagged yearly, making this the second largest application of RFID in the world after the retail supply chain.
