How will Bode-RFID help?

Area of Use	Benefits
Inventory Management in the Lab	Search items easily using a RFID tag. The data from the RFID tag attached to the evidence or sample can be track and monitor the chain-of-custody.
Chain-of-Custody and Auditing Control	All items are tagged from the point of entry and with proper transfer procedures, audits can be generated for an account and record where all evidence is located at a given point in time.
Data Management	The user of RFID tagged evidence can be used to house data on the RFID tag itself as a means of electronic data transfer to a LIMS system without the need of paper.
Access Control and Cross-Contamination Control	RFID tags on evidence work much like an employee access badge, thus restricting or authorizing access into areas of the lab where the evidence should or should not be located.
Inventory Management and Consumption Control of Reagents	RFID tagging of reagent boxes or vials allows for real-time inventory and use visibility. This provides the benefit of on-time re-ordering, consumption history, expired reagent history, etc.

Why use RFID?

RFID solutions offer faster, more accurate, and more efficient reading than other solutions such as barcoding

	Bode-RFID	Barcodes
Read Rate	Very high throughput, read hundreds of labels in seconds.	Slow, barcode labels have to be read one at a time.
Line of Sight	Not required. Items can be oriented in any direction, as long as it is in the read range, and direct line of sight is never required.	Required, all items need to be in plain view. Hidden items can be lost during inventory or difficult to find.
Read/Write Capability	Offers the ability to read, write, modify, and update the tag with item information.	Read only capability.
Durability	Strong durability, labels can withstand harsh environments.	Low, can be easily ripped or damaged.
Security	High. RFID tag data can be encrypted and passwork protected so information stored is secure.	Low. Easy to reproduce or counterfeit.
Directional Tracking	RFID tags can be utilized to track the direction an asset is moving so that the process flow is captured.	Not capable. Cannot be used for directional tracking.
