The four finalists for the 2014 RFID Journal Award for Best RFID Implementation were selected by an independent panel of judges. Each company was invited to make a presentation at RFID Journal LIVE! 2014. The four finalists were:
- Marks & Spencer, for its use of item-level RFID to improve on-shelf availability at all of its stores
- Bechtel, , for its use of thousands of active RFID tags to manage materials for the construction of three mega-size industrial projects off the coast of Western Australia
- BP International, for its use of passive RFID and hybrid GPS tags to track construction materials globally for a major capital project
- Colcafé, for an RFID system that provides increased visibility—from raw materials through production and storage to shipping
