RFID is one of those areas where the big dogs lead the way.
Boeing is no exception. It is leading the RFID charge into the aerospace industry.
However, Boeing is not issuing mandates. According to ComputerWorld, it is instead planning to issue a set of specifications for suppliers in 2005:
Boeing is pairing up with Airbus to develop a set of standards for the aerospace industry.
Anytime I read about competitors getting together for any reason, I wonder about anti-trust. Will such behavior somehow be misunderstood as price fixing or a restraint of trade? I don't know the answer, but I can't help but think about it.

The specifications will spell out Boeing's technical standards relating to issues such as the frequency, memory capacity and size of RFID tags and labels. Suppliers that ship parts to Boeing will eventually need to label their components with RFID tags that meet the specifications.
