Wearable RFID TagsAntennas must be lightweight, low-cost and powerful enough to support sensors in health-care applications.
Next-Generation EPCISPlanned enhancements to the EPC Information Services standard will improve traceability for nonserialized items and transformation processes.
A New Approach to Pharmaceutical E-PedigreesEPCIS can support chain-of-custody verification—without a cumbersome data burden.
Toward a Zero-Injury WorkplaceReal-time safety solutions protect employees in dangerous industries.
Securing Small ShipmentsAn RFID e-seal designed for ammunition, file or medical boxes can monitor for tampering.
RFID Can Simplify Maintenance of Patient-Monitoring DevicesIf medical equipment manufacturers integrate dual-interface RFID chips into the devices they make, hospitals could use the technology to communicate with those devices, access maintenance records and alerts, and upgrade software.
Good ProblemsNew challenges to RFID adoption signal innovation and progress.
Innovation Is StupidAmazon, eBay and Google were all dumb ideas.
The Myths of LF vs. HFDepending upon application requirements, low-frequency passive RFID tags and readers often outperform their high-frequency counterparts—so why do people believe otherwise?
Lessons From Air SafetyRFID could be the food supply chain's equivalent of the flight data recorder.
The Business Case for Attacks Against RFID ApplicationsThe goal of instituting RFID security measures should be to find a balance between an investment in security and the resulting business benefits.
Protecting EPC TagsIn the short term, companies could use a transponder ID written to every microchip to ensure the authenticity of an EPC tag.
Dutch RFID Interference Study Is a Worst-Case TestA recent study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association is not in line with the reality of most current hospital RFID deployments.
Return on InnovationReturn on investment is not the only way to calculate the value of RFID.
Enabling Remote Health-care Applications With RFIDRadio frequency identification could offer an affordable way to serve the medical needs of the world's growing elderly population.
