While perusing the internet I came across this report titled RFID Bomb and after reading it I almost spilled my coffee over my laptop. The report has been released by Heavey RFID which is a Dublin based firm and it states that RFID is a technology bubble which would burst any moment. An instant thought came to my mind what about the fortune five hundred companies who are showing so much confidence in this technology? These companies might have decided to adopt this technology after considering all the pros and cons and their decision would surely not be based on any whims or fancies.

Ronan Clinton, M.D, Heavey RFID stated:

History is littered with large technical blunders; RFID in the supply chain is potentially one of the biggest.

This is probably one of the most absurd statements that I have encountered up till now regarding this technology. The report further states that RFID is unlikely to replace bar code for identification of goods. Further costs and technical restrictions too have been blamed as probable reasons for failure of the technology and it also states that the technology is not expected to emerge as a feasible replacement for barcodes. It seems the report is aimed at killing RFID by stating reasons which are hard to digest. I do agree that at certain places RFID cannot replace barcode but this does not mean the days of RFID are over. I can't even figure out what basis has been considered for coming out with such report when the technology is not only being whole heartedly being implemented by companies but is even trickling down to the masses. What do you have to say?
