Five Steps to RFID Deployment

Tags:
mobile - wireless communications

Overview Contrary to perceptions fostered by the recent buzz around mandates from WalMart, Target, Albertson's, the Department of Defense and others, RFID is not a new technology. It was first used over sixty years ago by Britain to identify friend and foe aircraft in World War II. For over twenty years, every railroad car in North America and many other countries have had RFID tags on them. And if you have an Exxon/Mobil SpeedPass or use a tollway transponder in your car, you are using RFID technology. However, the way manufacturers and suppliers are being required to apply the passive EPC (Electronic Product Code) technology in their distribution operations to satisfy current compliance mandates is pioneering.
