Follow ThingMagic’s 100 Uses of RFID campaign to learn about innovative ways in which Radio Frequency Identification and Sensing (RFIDS) is being used to automate data collection, identification, and location systems worldwide. Track the updates below, follow the ThingMagic RFID Blog and join the discussion on Twitter using hashtag #RFID100. |
Since the release of ThingMagic’s first products a decade ago, RFIDS technology has been able to take advantage of the incredible amount of Moore’s law expansion in the embedded world. What previously required thousands of components to implement is now available in a single chip, allowing for the design of products today that are higher performing, ten times cheaper, and one hundred times smaller than the products we brought to market ten years ago.
The broad adoption of all types of RFIDS today shows that the much-heralded promise of the technology goes far beyond the supply chain focus that generated so much hype in the last decade. These innovations point to the fact that the vision of the Internet of Things and Reality Search Engines embraced by ThingMagic is coming to reality.
Below are examples of how RFIDS is addressing familiar needs across markets as well as examples of new innovative solutions where users and consumers can naturally interact with RFIDS and where the technology is so integrated and transparent that it disappears into its environment.
