Guard Against Employee Sabotage of RFID
Filed in archive Implementation by Anita Campbell on March 29, 2006

The word "sabotage" is a loaded one, of course. So let's take a moment to put this into perspective. Sabotage of RFID deployments and tests occurs when employees think RFID has been implemented to spy on them -- or they simply are afraid of change, or resistant to having to learn new processes. So "sabotage" can mean passive resistance or active steps to make sure an implementation or trial fails.
Some examples of RFID sabotage that various speakers reported, include:
- dunking tags in water;
- running over them with trucks;
- zapping RFID systems with magnetic or electrical charges
Another speaker emphasized that employee education was critical. People are still learning what RFID is -- take the time to make sure the staff who must work with RFID understand it.
