If so, please provide details regarding case studies showing where such applications have been deployed. —Anthony ——— Anthony, It is impossible to embed a standard high-frequency (HF) or ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID transponder in 80 gsm bond paper (the thickness of...
I need a solution that will work on small farms, or for companies that produce products for such farms. —Ron ——— Ron, I'm unaware of any companies or organizations that are using RFID for precision farming—if by "precision farming," you mean the ability to control...
In addition, what are some other primary benefits of using the technology for this application? —Name withheld ——— I don't think the main benefit of using RFID in a library is to enhance a library-goer's access to information. After all, most libraries maintain...
Are any companies currently conducting inventories using RFID to monitor materials within a warehouse that may be stacked up to 30 feet high? —Name withheld ——— Yes. I visited Hewlett-Packard's warehouse in São Paulo, Brazil, where the company stacks pallets of...
The application is simple—we want to prevent bicycle theft. Where would such tags be placed? Could they be embedded into a bike frame, for example? And which frequency should be used? —Name withheld ——— Radio frequency identification has been used to prevent bicycle...
The Impact of Virtual, Remote and Real Logistics Labs event will provide a venue for researchers from academia and industry who are interested in future-oriented logistics labs, as a nucleus for innovation.
Can you please explain what this term means? —Name withheld ——— There are two types of radio frequency identification transponders covered by the generic term "chipless RFID." One type of chipless tags uses plastic or conductive polymers (rather than silicon-based...
