RFID automation

"The industry buzz says that RFID is the next great ship sailing to the promised land of automation – in this case, supply chain automation. Last year’s ratification of EPCglobal’s Generation 2 standard (for multi-vendor interoperability between chips and readers) joins the ongoing mandates from Wal-Mart, the Department of Defense and the FDA. With Cisco’s announcement earlier this month of its new RFID add-on board, the technology appears to be on course for mass adoption." Source: computerworld.com
