Due to changing business practices new and improved ways of managing it are coming into existence. The scientific studies are helping a lot for business development in terms of record management, retailing techniques, data mining, information gathering etc. I know that till now you might have understood that I am talking about the Radio Frequency Identification Process (RFID), which is definitely one of the hotter technologies and momentum continues to grow for its adoption by a number of companies in all sorts of applications.

FID technology captures data using tiny tracking chips that are affixed to products. RFID applications range from potential areas such as security, manufacturing, logistics, animal tagging, waste management, postal tracking to airline baggage and road toll management.

Besides having different applications for varied set of Industries, RFID holds its huge applicability in retail and logistics and it is for this reason that the  retail giant WalMart is investing huge amounts in RFID technology and research to be greatly benefited  gre from its security, access and control feature.

The typical RFID system consists of an antenna and transceiver and transponder (RF tag). The transceiver reads the radio frequency and transfers information to a processing device. There is an active involvement of RFID tag, which processes the information used for identification.

Earlier it was a debatable question whether all the organizations will be able to reap the benefits of RFID, but it now seems possible as we are witnessing the lowering in costs and their feasibility of applications.Before concluding, I will like to share with you the key applications of RFID for varied business processes:

  • Controlled access to buildings and networks
  • Scanning objects with high water content at close rang
  • Tracking goods in the supply chain and during the manufacturing process.
  • Element triggering during oil well boring

Although there are lingering concerns by privacy advocates over the use of RFID, there's no doubt that the use of RFID tags continues to increase. According to a new report from In-Stat, over 1 billion tags were produced last year, and by 2010, that total will rise to 33 billion.

That describes its future acceptance and wide adaptability.

RFID technology is the Technology for tommorrow with the growing volumes and want of data online. Yes We will need lot of investment today to convince and corelate the facts. This technology needs to be exploited more to give returns. In India we do not want to take examples of Walmart.  Tax structure on these products is high as compared to that of US.

The fact is, most of the peolple are till afraid about deploybility and accepttibility of RFID.
Atleast Pilots must be accepted.
All Gov sectors are quite lazy and not at all interrested to accept any new technology.
However, projects and R&D are going on. IITK is doing good work with Indian Rail, CDAC-NOIDA is working with DOP(depertment of post).
May be a bit later, bur India is working in Tag and reader development also, although most are dependent on module but they are also working in core level.

The next scenario will come when RFID will merge with Active Tag and the result is RTLS.
Lets watch what comes.......
