Abstract

RFID is destined to be a disruptive technology that will have a slow start-up ramp, followed by rapid clock speed acceptance and a relentless series of documented improvement stories. It will be a technology that will find its way into a rash of applications, industries, and individual businesses, undoubtedly impacting our professional and personal lives.

The real benefit will come when RFID is integrated as part of a drive for supply chain optimization, full network connectivity, and ERP-to-ERP communication that communicates information to business partners such as supply amount, location, and how it can be brought to the point of need, in quantities that match the actual demand. Additional value will be realized when it also helps in the data analysis that leads to generating new revenues. In short, the use of RFID technology is expected to grow significantly in the next five years and it is predicted that someday RFID tags will be as pervasive as bar codes.
