Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Passive tags collect energy from a nearby RFID reader's interrogating radio waves. Active tags have a local power source (such as a battery) and may operate hundreds of meters from the RFID reader. Unlike a bar code, the tag does not need to be within the line of sight of the reader, so it may be embedded in the tracked object.
RFID is a method of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC).
RFID tags are used in many industries. For example, an RFID tag attached to an automobile during production can be used to track its progress through the assembly line; RFID-tagged pharmaceuticals can be tracked through warehouses; and implanting RFID microchips in livestock and pets enables positive identification of animals.

Where you can use RFID with Beas:
Time Receipt, Logon, LogOff:
Example: In personnel master data you can insert the RFID Number that is saved in the chip. Use the field "CardCode".
Material management
As identifier for Material. This can be a label with integrated RFID chip
Hardware:
For reading RFID, you need a RFID Scanner.
Beas does not support any RFID Scanners directly and can only read information from the keyboard.
For this reason, you need additional hardware to transfer all RFID information to the keyboard.
RFID in Beas Bin Management
In Beas Bin Management a field "RFID" is available. You can use this field for working with Bin Management with additional Identifier for every single product via RFID.
It is also possible to use this RFID field for other Identifiers. Here it is recommended to use a serial number for identification and not the separate RFID field inside Beas Bin Management.
