RFID Machines
RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification. The acronym refers to small electronic devices that consist of a small chip on the RFID Card. The RFID device serves the same purpose as a bar code or a magnetic strip on the back of a credit card or ATM card; it provides a unique identifier for that object. And, just as a bar code or magnetic strip must be scanned to get the information, the RFID device must be scanned to retrieve the identifying information. RFID Technology makes it easy to capture the attendance and other info of the students or staff in a fraction of second. The RFID Card serves the purpose of a ID Card also as it carries the Photo and other information of the card holder. IFW is an authorised partners of all the major RFID Machine Brands.
