Interactive data systems limited is specialized in implementing Barcode systems and RFID systems. We provide turn-key barcode solutions, including barcode labeling and barcode scanning systems, RFID systems, barcode software, blank labels and pre-printed barcode labels. Additionally, we can provide custom software development when the barcode and RFID solutions will not meet your business requirements.
A barcode scanner is an electronic device for reading printed barcodes. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones.
Laser scanners
Large field-of-view readers
Omni-directional barcode scanners
Smart phones scanners
Handheld scanner
Stationary scanner
Fixed-position scanner
PDA scanner
Cordless scanner (or Wireless scanner)
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. A significant advantage of RFID devices over the others mentioned above is that the RFID device does not need to be positioned precisely relative to the scanner. RFID devices will work within a few feet (up to 20 feet for high-frequency devices) of the scanner.
With RFID you could just put all of your items or purchases in a bag, and set the bag on the scanner. It would be able to query all of the RFID devices and total your purchase immediately.
There are two types of RFID tags:
Passive:
A passive RFID tag will use the interrogator’s radio wave energy to relay its stored information back to the interrogator.
Battery powered:
A battery powered RFID tag is embedded with a small battery that powers the relay of information.

RFID active tag based system provides efficient independent, hands-free vehicle identification, access, parking management and tracking system for efficient traffic management. RFID tags based system supports wide range of applications like
Automatic Vehicle Identification
Traffic monitoring and surveillance
Electronic vehicle licensing
Speed control
Traffic ticketing
Parking Management
RFID can be implemented at what has been shown to be relatively low cost for highly accurate (RFID systems provides 100% accuracy) and robust (RFID systems accuracy is not affected by time of day, weather, environmental conditions) system for traffic management systems.
