Honoring Excellence

On Apr., we presented the sixth annual RFID Journal Awards for outstanding achievement in radio frequency identification, at RFID Journal LIVE! 2012, our 10th annual conference and exhibition. You can read about each end user’s RFID project in the following stories.

You’ll learn how Omni-ID‘s ProView Visual Tagging System lets businesses update instructions automatically, on the fly, and why Bill Hardgrave got the retail community excited about RFID. This year, we also introduced a new award for Best RFID Thesis, to recognize researchers.
