This white paper makes three claims. First, batteryless (also known as passive) RFID is the most economical way to measure a large number of parameters in healthcare settings. Second, batteryless RFID, owing to its low cost and complexity, enables innovative patient-centric applications that would otherwise not be implemented. Finally, it often makes sense to implement [...]

Tremendous progress has been made when it comes to the ability of RFID technology to work on metal and with liquids. Companies like Xerafy and Omni-ID have taken the mystery out of on-metal tagging, and RFID-based solutions are common in aerospace, medical, automotive and many other industries. The development of an antenna-less RFID tag by [...]

  This white paper addresses the thought process that leads original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to place greater emphasis on determining the best path to take when it comes to embedding RFID into their products.

This white paper looks at a number of advantages from item-level tagging, and concludes that item-level RFID may be creating a competitive advantage for early adopters by providing better inventory accuracy, visibility, and insight, enabling them to improve in-stock positions and increase sales.

This paper provides an overview of item-level radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging in the apparel supply chain. It explains the evolution of RFID technology and details key benefits when utilized by retailers, distribution and logistics providers, and manufacturers.

RFID in retail is getting closer to becoming ubiquitous, and 2012 is expected to represent a watershed year for the technology. A new survey reveals that 80 percent of retailers have initiated pilots or deployed RFID at the store level. Aside from confirming that item-level adoption is rapidly gaining traction, the report also indicates that [...]

The retail industry is keeping a close eye on several lawsuits brought against retail chains that have recently rolled out RFID technology. The litigation, brought by Round Rock Research LLC, claims that the retail use of RFID infringes on several of its patents. Although it is unknown if the patent licensing suits will hold up [...]

As the use of RFID explodes, the technology is being integrated into more and more consumer-facing applications. That was evident last week when Burger King announced that it is rolling out Coca-Cola’s RFID-enabled Freestyle soda machines to all 850 of its company-owned stores. In another interesting consumer-facing use case, the Tampa Bay Lightning have embedded [...]

As the year winds down, it’s safe to say that 2011 was a very good year for RFID. The technology is being deployed in more industries, use cases continue to grow, return-on-investment is more attractive, and the technology is becoming widely accepted as evidenced by a dramatic drop in legislation aimed at curbing its use. [...]

RFID is becoming more and more of a common solution when it comes to tracking and managing large amounts of cash. Imagine how beneficial the technology would be to firms like Wells Fargo that truck money around all day. And while retailers love RFID because of the increased supply chain visibility it provides,  retailers like [...]
