Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a general term that is
used to describe a system that transmits the identity (in the form
of a unique serial number) of an object wirelessly, using radio
waves. RFID is evolving as a major technology enabler for tracking
goods and assets around the world. A great deal of attention is
being paid to RFID by the IT industry, media and analysts.
According to studies by Benchmark Research, in 2004 three quarters
of manufacturing companies were aware of RFID, of which a
third were already using, piloting or investigating RFID
applications for their organizations.
