•White Paper: RFID In Modern Supply Chains
The widespread adoption of RFID and sensor networks will be determined by how well organizations can leverage this technology to improve business processes and efficiency. In the myriad of RFID solutions and technology that have been put forth to date, few deployments outside of mandate compliance and pilots have become recognized best practices of how to achieve ROI. To some, RFID has become a technology in search of a problem to solve. While early adopters were predominantly retailers deploying RFID for tag and ship compliance, the market has continued to mature. Beyond mandates, the real value of RFID and sensor applications now revolves around process efficiency and extension across business ecosystems.
Currently, there is a surge of process-centric RFID adoption with supply chain-dependent companies at the forefront of the trend. As with the early days of barcodes, the technology's auto-identification capability was initially interesting to the techno-innovators. Until standards were adopted across industries and processes with clear ROI were defined, companies were not able to justify the adoption of the technology. Many industry analysts assert that a similar chasm is being crossed for RFID-based solutions.
