The Chasm Between RFID Standards and Implementation

RFID Is Here Today!
The AIAG B-11 Rev 8 standard was created to provide easy-to-understand guidance on a difficult subject, through unambiguous explanations and examples. While there are many different RFID standards that need to be understood, the detailed examples contained within the B-11 provide guidance that can assist in enabling and easing future RFID implementations.

There is now no reason why radio frequency identification cannot be rolled out to the global using-community in open-system, standards-based, multi-partner supply chains. Revision 8 of the AIAG B-11 Item-Level RFID standard, published on Nov. 16, can be obtained by contacting AIAG at (248) 358-3303, or by visiting the group's Web site, www.aiag.org.

Bill Hoffman is the founder and president of Hoffman Systems LLC, a bar-code and RFID consultancy and systems integrator, and standards support company.
