RFID (radio frequency identification) is an integral part of our life. RFID increases productivity and
convenience. RFID is used for hundreds, if not thousands, of applications such as preventing theft of

parking, controlling access of vehicles to gated communities, corporate campuses and airports, dispensing
goods, providing ski lift access, tracking library books, buying hamburgers, and the growing opportunity to
track a wealth of assets in supply chain management.
