News
RFID News
covers all of today's industry headlines. RFID News-tracks
advancements in the numerical identification device industry RFID
News, the electronic newsletter for the RFID industry, produced by
AIM, the global trade association for the Automatic Identification
and Data Capture (AIDC) industry.
RFID News has
an excellent analysis of a recent USA Today column on hypothetical
nightmarish privacy violations by companies utilizing RFID tags. The
gist of the analysis is that USA Today is sensationalizing the
concept. Companies, governments, and individuals already have far
easier and more effective ways of gathering information about you
than RFID can provide.
According to
RFID News, the International Newsletter of the Texas Instruments
RFID Group, the company's Tag-it™ 13.56 MHz smart label technology
has revolutionized baggage service at London's Heathrow Airport.
This system uses smart labels to track and route passenger's luggage
from the airport to the hotel, freeing passengers from all of the
hassles typically associated with baggage transport.
Passengers can
use the Internet to check on the whereabouts of their luggage at
every stage and verify its final delivery. It is even planned to
equip top London hotels with RFID readers
that will automatically trigger a text message to the passenger's
mobile phone via the Internet telling them that their baggage has
safely arrived at the hotel.
According to
RFID News, Wal-Mart will eventually require all pallets and cases to
use RFID tags compliant with the field-programmable EPC Class 1,
version 2 spec. That spec's still in development. Until it's ready,
Wal-Mart will accept EPC-compliant Class 0 or Class 1 tags in the
UHF band. Wal-Mart recommends its suppliers use readers that can be
software-upgraded for the new standard.
RFID News is a
site that publishes information concerning free software, privacy,
jobs, supply chains, shipping containers and industry news
concerning RFID. The other big RFID News is out of Washington,
where the Department of Defense is taking steps to improve the
management of inventory with hands-off processing. The DoD announced
that its suppliers will be held to the same deadline for affixing
passive chips to pallets or cases.
