BY Benjamin | May 29, 2025.

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, tracking and managing assets in real-time is not just a convenience — it's a necessity. With the rise of automation and digital transformation, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) has emerged as a game-changing technology in asset management, bringing transparency, accuracy, and control across industries.At AGARAM, we offer a comprehensive RFID-based Asset Management System that empowers organizations to efficiently manage both IT and non-IT assets — with real-time data, security, and intelligence. Let's explore how our solution works and the diverse industry use cases it supports.

How RFID Works

It is a wireless technology that uses radio waves to identify and track tags attached to objects.Each RFID tag contains a microchip and antenna that stores data and transmits it to an RFID reader.

  • Tag (Passive) is attached to an item
  • Reader emits a signal via antenna.
  • Tag responds by sending its unique data (EPC/ID).
  • Reader captures and sends the data to a software system for processing.
