Can RFID technology be integrated with other technologies?
RFID will co-exist and integrate with the other auto ID technologies – with barcode for product identification and with biometrics for personnel authentication. There are other technologies that RFID is used for providing an integrated and complete solution – GPS/GIS for vehicle identification and location, GSM/CDMA for enabling and authenticating mobile commerce, GPRS and wireless for remote data communication, sensors and controls for identifying and recording different parameters, automation systems and PLCs for integrated production systems. Does communication or IT infrastructure pose a hurdle to RFID? The availability of basic IT infrastructure for data storage and communication along with robust integrated information systems for data processing and mining is a pre-requisite for RFID deployment to provide the desired benefits. System scalability needs to be addressed right at the start and preparation of legacy IT systems and applications for real-time data is a must for efficie
