What is RFID?

You’ve probably already used RFID without realising it—tapping a contactless card, walking through an anti-theft gate, or watching a pet get scanned at the vet. RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification, uses radio waves to identify and track tagged items automatically, without needing line-of-sight like a barcode.

Unlike barcodes, RFID can scan hundreds of items in seconds, even if they’re hidden in a box or stacked on a shelf. That makes it ideal for businesses who want faster, smarter inventory management.

RFID in Inventory Management

RFID delivers real-time visibility: knowing exactly what you have, where it is, and when it moves. This reduces stockouts, prevents losses, and saves time on manual counting.

That’s where Tbox Tech comes in.

How Tbox Tech Uses RFID

At Tbox Tech, we’ve taken RFID beyond simple scanning. Our systems are designed for point-of-use inventory control—ensuring the parts, tools, or consumables your team needs are available exactly when and where they’re required.

Two of our flagship solutions bring this to life:

• RF Kiosk – A compact, smart cabinet that uses RFID to track items automatically as they’re taken or returned. Ideal for controlled access to high-value or frequently used parts.

• RF ProPod Portal – A walk-through RFID portal that can read entire batches of tagged items instantly, giving total visibility of stock moving in and out of your facility.

The Bottom Line

RFID makes inventory management faster, more accurate, and less labour-intensive. With Tbox Tech solutions like the RF Kiosk and RF ProPod Portal, you’re not just tracking inventory—you’re taking control of it.
