Answer:

They are both ways to identify assets (e.g., persons, animals, objects).

Step-by-step explanation:

A barcode is a bit of information (usually a number) printed as a line or block pattern on a surface (e.g., a sticker).

An RFID is a bit of computer memory with an antenna.

Both can be read with the appropriate scanner device.

Answer:

  • A barcode is an information/code represented in the form of a bars/parallel lines of varying lengths and also numbers
  • A rfid tag is consisted of a tiny radio transmitter.receiver and transponder, it is used to identify tags on an object.

Step-by-step explanation:

A barcode is code good way of representing data/information in a virtual way which is readable by a machine ( optical scanners) made to read Barcodes. barcodes vary in width and spacing between each other. they were initially made to represent just data with parallel lines but they have been advanced into using to identify products like in taking stocks of products sold and bought in the commerce industry.

An RFID ( Radio Frequency Identification) tag is an electronic tag that is used to exchange information on an object with an RFID reader through radio waves. they are used as well to keep stocks of gods bought and sold.
