Each object carries a transponder -- a microchip with an antenna -- that
contains unique information about it just like a bar code identifies a
product.
As technologies work together and cost efficiencies are realized , RFID has the
potential to dramatically improve not only supply chain efficiencies, but to
be used for many other applications, from securing buildings and ensuring the
safety of workers to improving asset utilization and reducing manufacturing
errors.S. For many businesses, these benefits will translate into a
