RFID and You

No matter what industry you're in, RFID can be a practical solution

POTENTIAL

One of the things that inspires Beacontree management and staff is the virtually unlimited potential of RFID technology applications. Practical and economical new uses for it are continually being developed. And, compared to the complexity, timeframes and cost of developing software applications, RFID applications can be implemented with relative ease. Keep in mind that an RFID tag can even be embedded in a mobile phone.

Here are just a few of the innovative RFID applications we've seen put into operation recently:

• In hospitals. An I.V. unit can cost over $1,000. Yet somehow they mysteriously go missing. An RFID system can easily maintain total control of them.
• In hotels. Maids can carry an RFID embedded device that can identify and report to a reader unit in each room.
• Maintenance and repair personnel can use RFID 'touch and report' systems resulting in time and cost savings.
• Utility workers (gas, electricity, etc.) can use RFID to read meters, transmit data and receive updated instructions in the field.
• Government workers in areas such as public safety, health care and administration can use RFID-based communication for accurate reporting with minimal paperwork.
• In the automotive industry, RFID tags are now being widely used for error proofing and data collection in the assembly process.
• RFID tags can be used as sensors for instantaneous parameter changes on some types of machinery and even robotics.
• The pharmaceutical industry has been a leader in RFID technology application. RFID tags can be attached to bottles and other medicine containers. They've proven to be an effective tool in forgery prevention.
