How Does RFID Touch Me? Let Me Count the Ways

RFID is now being used in ways that touch us everyday. Despite concerns by privacy advocates, the march toward expanding the uses of RFID has not stopped. On the contrary, it is increasing.

To be sure, the area of passive RFID in the supply chain is taking longer to implement than early optimistic predictions suggested. Supply chain uses are more complex to do right, companies are finding out, and so right now many companies are in a "heads down" mode on their implementations ... working the bugs out, learning, refining, improving.

Meanwhile, other uses for this worthwhile technology are being found all the time and implemented. Real-time asset location tracking is one area that has seen a huge increase in popularity in the past year or two. RFID to prevent document counterfeiting is another area seeing growth -- for ticketing, access cards, even identity documents. Contactless payment cards are another booming area, in credit cards and other payment devices such as key fobs.

To read a fascinating run down of uses of RFID, especially in ways that touch consumers, head over to the RFID Lowdown blog. Mini Singh has rounded up 33 ways that RFID touches our lives as consumers.
