GS1 Australia recently held an event called “Unlock the Power of RFID,” promoted by RFID Coalition. The objective, according to the organizations, was to allow for the sharing of experiences and knowledge about radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies.
The RFID Coalition Tech Expo took place on Aug. 24 in Melbourne. This was GS1 Australia’s first in-person event since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The event was attended by representatives of large Australian and international companies that use RFID technologies to attain agility and confidence in their business operations, as well as by recognized global solution providers.
