The
Journal was launched on March 1, 2002, in the belief that RFID was an important technology that would revolutionize the way companies around the world do business. Today, RFID is beginning to live up to its promise. As technical standards are established, costs come down, and the technology matures, RFID adoption is spreading around the world.
RFID is being adopted in a wide variety of industries, including aircraft manufacturing, consumer electronics, consumer packaged goods, defense, homeland security and retail. It's being used not only for tracking goods in the supply chain but also to reduce counterfeiting of high-end products, such as pharmaceutical drugs, to track baggage in airports and medical supplies in hospitals, and as a payment system. Virtually every company on Earth will be required to use RFID in one way or another to remain competitive in the global market.
Our mission is to be the ultimate resource for businesspeople who need to understand how RFID can help their companies boost supply chain efficiencies, reduce inventories, limit theft, improve product availability and add convenience for consumers.
RFID Journal serves the needs of businesspeople looking to take advantage of RFID technologies with timely news, strategic analysis, networking opportunities at events and in-depth education.
