What obstacles today have been encountered that will not allow use of RFID?
Clearly, physics plays a role here. A product may need to be re-engineered with new packaging or a new design in order to achieve optimal performance from an applied RFID system. Or a business process may need to be changed in order to remove obstacles that prevent RFID used in a specific case. There also has been a lot of discussion about liquids and metals inhibiting RFID from working well, but work-around strategies have lessened this as a mitigating factor. At this time, no significant barriers have emerged that would prevent implementing and using RFID technology in a variety of applications.
