Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is an emerging technology with many successful applications including animal tagging, security access, retail loss prevention, automated toll collection and warehouse management. Wider adoption of RFID in the United States is being spearheaded by the U.S. Department Of Defense (DOD) and retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target, and Albertsons. Often touted as a "Disruptive" technology destined to change retailing, RFID currently complements the barcode systems it may someday replace. With current technology advances, it is still unreasonable to ride down the aisles of a factory with a RFID reader on a cart and within a few minutes verify all the assets. This paper will examine the current specifications, the issues one must overcome, and in general an educational overview.
