Editor’s Notes
Opportunity Knocks
Open standards create opportunity by dramatically increasing the size of the potential market.The March of Folly
It foolish to continue selling proprietary systems when the broad market has embraced open standards.Item-Level Trend Spotting
A lot of people say item-level tracking of low-cost goods is many years away. Recent news stories suggest otherwise.Patently Obvious
The Auto-ID Center is considering creating a patent pool to reduce the risk of lawsuits derailing its technology. The idea is good for vendors, as well as customers.Transforming the Warehouse
To reduce inventory, companies are going to have to do a lot more than slap RFID tags on pallets and readers on dock doors.It’s Time To Get Strategic
It's time for companies to begin developing a long-term strategy for using RFID and a plan for deploying it in stages.Pity the Poor Customer
Companies looking to buy RFID systems are hearing conflicting information about what RFID can do and where the market is going.The Pull of the Culture
The companies that benefit most from RFID technology will be the ones that create a culture that embraces change.Underestimating Asia
Asia lags behind in auto-ID technology, but recent events indicate that it could emerge as a dominant force in RFID.
