RFID users opt for 'closed loop'

摘要

More Companies Are Adopting radio frequency identification (RFID) technology across various industries beyond supply chain management, according to a recent end-user survey by ABI Research.rnThe study found that while open-loop supply chain applications have been the primary haven for RFID adoption, closed-loop RFID applications that provide internal tracking for companies — such as asset management and security access control — are now finding greater use. The results were gleaned from over 175 organizations across a variety of industries. ABIrnResearch director Michael Liard said that more companies in areas such as manufacturing and health care are starting to see the value of RFID. But, he said that with the right frame of mind, nearly any company can benefit from RFID applications.
