State of RFID

"Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has long had the potential to revolutionize the supply chain, but it didn't come front-and-center until Wal-Mart, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and other high-profile retail organizations mandated it for their suppliers. Driven by those mandates, suppliers have been working (some would say struggling) towards RFID compliance. 2005 was a key year in many of the mandates, and new research from AMR shows that RFID adoption is consequently spreading."
