Answer 1

Answer: B. radio frequency identification.

Explanation: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the use of radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to an object, providing a unique identifier for an object. RFID Technology is used in many industries and in a wide variety of applications as it can deliver a number of benefits fo item-revelations.

Answer 2

Answer:

B) radio frequency identification.

Explanation:

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is not the same thing as GPS technology but they work together now, and are used to locate containers or other types of distribution devices around the world.

Within a factory, RFID is also used to locate different cargo loads and are used by robots to move within the installations. They use electromagnetic radio frequencies to identify objects or people (as long as they have a tag) and move different cargo around.

Factories are increasingly automated now, and RFID is used to guide many of the robots functions.
