RFID Solutions Survey
RFID Deployment Survey

Early RFID deployments yielded primary attention on the actual components and mechanics of RFID itself rather than RFID's applications. Both manufacturers and clients were focused on the actual functionality of readers and tags. There is a much clearer picture that a scalable solution, implemented around pilot programs, will reduce the cost impact of RFID over time and make the benefits of improved supply chain visibility simpler to realize.
