Examining the key issues
- Market immaturity. Application of RFID to lower cost items is a new concept and issues exist regarding movement from pilot stage to real-world use, moving from pallet-level to item-level and its accuracy.
- Costs. Physical costs are becoming less important as the cost of tags falls. However, implementation costs will remain a challenge for smaller organizations and benefit professional services and systems integrators in the initial stage of roll-out.
- Privacy. It will be key issue for vendors to overcome this fear by the recycling, re-use, blocking or disablement of tags when they are no longer needed.
- Implementation hurdles. Many organizations are too focused on the physicalities of RFID whilst overlooking the issue of integrating the data that will pour in from the readers.
- Early adopters. To comply with mandates from Wal-Mart and the US Department of Defense suppliers have had no choice but to adopt RFID there are best-practice lessons to be learned from these and other interesting pilots.
