RFID for workflow, inventory, asset tracking, anti-theft, access control
RFID is more affordable than ever. Tags start at $0.06/ea. Industrial UHF reader/writers start at $210. Consumer hardware can be purchased for less, depending on your application. Read distances can go to 25 feet or more depending on the configuration. There are tags designed for most possible applications. I found rugged tags good for harsh environments up to 400 degrees. The readers can all be connected via WiFi and controlled by any computer or mobile device. Applications are endless like loss prevention, access control, retail, asset tracking, inventory, workflow, electronics, experiences, events, trade shows, gaming, leisure, entertainment, media, document management, product authentication, healthcare, industrial applications, supply chain, asset management, automotive.
