RFID is Still the Next Big Thing

"RFID is regarded by many in the IT industry as the next big thing. Already, many British supermarkets are considering using the system for stock control and automated checkout facilities. Rivals such as IBM and Fujitsu are also developing RFID systems, but Mr Wendling is confident that 3M will be a leader in the field. "We have got some really advanced systems. This is a big growth area. But I really can't comment further as it is very confidential." It is thought that 3M is developing RFID products for use in the office." Source: news.independent.co.uk
