Tuning in to RFID
 Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been one of the hottest topics of the past year across a wide range of industries. RFID champions say the technology is disruptive — capable of compelling revolutionary savings in manufacturing and logistics. Those with a more cautionary outlook cite privacy concerns and a largely pre-standards industry landscape in which hype has often trumped results.
