RFID: A Business Revolution Providing Strategic and Competitive Advantage

Overview RFID technology has been in use for many years, but is now finding a mass-market application in supply chain and asset management systems. Currently, the majority of focus is at the palette or case level while individual RFID tagging is reserved for more expensive items.
