An intelligent RFID platform is basically a part of RFID middleware that enables the development and deployment of RFID systems. The intelligent RFID platform absorbs differences in different RFID tags from multiple suppliers. It then integrates the data to build scalable and flexible RFID solutions. The intelligent RFID platform has tools for monitoring and maintaining RFID systems.An RFID system is a wireless technology that uses radio waves for gathering data from a tag attached to an object. It is used for purposes such as tracking and automatic identification of objects.
