Many companies have invested in RFID to get the advantages it offers. These investments are usually made in closed-loop systems-that is, when a company is tracking goods that never leave its own control. That's because some existing RFID systems use proprietary technology, which means that if company A puts an RFID tag on a product, it can't be read by Company B unless they both use the same RFID system from the same vendor. Another reason is the price. See similar questions...

Several hundred different registrant organizations have so far allocated several million DOI names. Because the origins of the DOI System were in the text sector, an initial large implementation covering half of these registrants was from traditional print-publishing companies that have already established major online publishing programs. However the fundamental design of the system is applicable to any media or content. See similar questions...

Answer: Existing uses of RFID include: Raw material tracking, work-in-process (WIP) tracking, pallets/box tracking, a cradle-to-grave supply chain application in a retail environment, parcel package tracking, a border control checkpoint application and many more. Most of the companies adopting this technology are early adopters and view this as a competitive advantage in their specific industry. Consequently, they have been hesitant to publicize their efforts. See similar questions...

We have a list of 103 companies that were sponsors of the MIT Auto-ID Center as of June 25, 2003. The MIT Auto-ID Center is the organization that developed the infrastructure for RFID with the help of global businesses like Gillette, Unilever and Procter & Gamble. We expect that these companies will be among the first to adopt the technology. See similar questions...

Paper management also includes having an effective filing system which would come after you've developed an effective daily system for workflow. What we often see in companies is that each individual has some semblance of a filing system, but no one else can use it to find anything. If you have taken over an office where 2 or 3 people before you worked and you inherited their papers, chances are you've rarely used those files because it's difficult to find things.

RFID is not necessarily "better" than bar codes. The two are different technologies and have different applications, which sometimes overlap. The big difference between the two is bar codes are line-of-sight technology. That is, a scanner has to "see" the bar code to read it, which means people usually have to orient the bar code toward a scanner for it to be read. Radio frequency identification, by contrast, doesn't require line of sight. See similar questions...

There is a strong concern that the large-scale use of RFID technology may breach the consumer's right to privacy. It is therefore not surprising that many consumer protection organisations have been very active in alerting consumers. The EC has long been aware of civil rights concerns to do with information and communication technologies. See similar questions...
