RFID
By Allen R. Gibson
Radio Frequency Identification Tags are one of those minuscule pieces of technology that have the potential to transform current business practices in several industries, and perhaps even create new industries of their own…kind of like the cell phone.
And, unlike many other pieces of technology that have been touted over the last decade, there is little doubt that RFID is going to live up to its billing. Already, it”s changing the supply chain management techniques of America”s biggest retailer and employer, Wal-Mart, and the logistical support function of the US military. Not bad for a tiny piece of wireless technology!
What RFID tags do, in essence, is perform the same function as a barcode. Except they broadcast their information wirelessly, so that it can be read at a distance and not require a hand-held scanner. Oh, and it can transmit a lot more information than a barcode holds. That may not sound like much, but it will likely transform the entire global shipping industry, provide millions of dollars in cost savings via improved “just-in-time” delivery systems, and increase the Department of Homeland Security”s ability to prevent weapons of mass destruction from being smuggled into the country.
Dr. K. Thirumalai, Chief Engineer for the US Department of Transportation Research and Special Programs Administration, says RFID tags will play an important role in the “intelligent transportation monitoring systems” which are being developed now to scan and track shipping containers and to monitor the status of their seals in real-time.
“Can we use wireless technologies to have a continuous record of the “sealing status” on the container? And secondly can wireless tech be used to transmit the manifest of what is in the container, and verify that it hasn”t been tampered with?” These are the questions Dr. Thirumalai says are facing the container business currently.
“RFID tags are one of the prime movers of the easy technologies that can be implemented to accomplish this, he says. Within a few years every container will be secure.”
