While Vision POS currently focuses on traditional POS systems, including IBM point of sale equipment, part is looking towards the future and preparing for shifts in the market before they occur. Vision POS is doing just that, offering assistance for newer technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and such cutting-edge technologies as biometrics.
RFID boasts higher data capacity and does not have to be physically scanned like a traditional barcode. Instead, a radio wave is used to read the data on the RFID transmitter – unlike a barcode that must be physically read by a barcode reader. RFID also carries an added advantage over traditional barcodes in that an RFID transmitter can be embedded within packages.
