Article Link: UHF RFID's Key Constraints
RFID vs Barcode
by CHRIS KAPSAMBELIS, posted 05/08/2006
Finally we have a realistic report from the trenches. Mr. Kankaria’s report on the many flaws of the application of UHF RFID in the supply chain confirms many of the points I have written about the use of RFID vs Barcode*. After reading the article we can conclude that there is one major advantage of Barcode over RFID, and that is that the user need not be a scientist to deploy Barcode. Anyone who is not blind can do it. Perhaps now the privacy advocates can relax since it appears that RFID tracking is not any better than Barcode which has been around for more than 30 years.
