World War II. RFID is not a new technology. It was first used over sixty years ago by Britain to identify aircraft in World War II and was part of the refinement of radar. It was during the 1960s that RFID was first considered as a solution for the commercial world. The first commercial applications involving RFID followed during the 70s and 80s. These commercial applications were concerned with identifying some asset inside a single location. They were based on proprietary infrastructures.
The third wave of RFID. The third era of RFID started in 1998, when researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Reading tags
Unique identification. Tags contain a unique identification number called an Electronic Product Code (EPC), and potentially additional information of interest to manufacturers, healthcare organizations, military organizations, logistics providers, and retailers, or others that need to track the physical location of goods or equipment. All information stored on RFID tags accompanies items as they travel through a supply chain or other business process. All information on RFID tags, such as product attributes, physical dimensions, prices, or laundering requirements, can be scanned wirelessly by a reader at high speed and from a distance of several meters.
We've been working with various RFID projects and alternating intensity since 1996. The growth of RFID can be expected to conincide with a broad use of this technology in connection with mobile phones, futures shopping and process / logistics projects with connecting objects as a central goal.
