Intelligent Chip Technology Technology Trends Intelligent Chip Technology: Frank Riso of Symbol Technologies offered an overview of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems and their applications in handling product data. The technology works by using RF signals to capture data from a tag, which is then relayed by the tag reader to a computer database; new data can then be transmitted in the other direction to update product information contained in the tag. RFID does not represent a challenge to the bar code, he stressed, given that the two technologies have different applications: the bar code is low-cost and suited for basic product data, while RFID is more expensive and designed to handle variable data. However, although the mass use of RFID tags is still a way off, a number of types have already been successfully marketed, including the "Speedpass" which allows motorists to pay for their petrol purchases at the pump. Some of the operational issues can be summarised as follows: • Read range: this varies from a few inches to a few yards depending on the size of the antenna – hand-held devices have lower range than fixed portals. • Standards: some standards have been established, like ISO 13 MHz and UCC/EAN GTAG for UHF. supply, chain, scm, store, technology, using, customer, sales, business, been, strategy, stores, benefits, while, rfid, order, management, key, data, systems, system, service, logistics, information, delivery, company, companies, through, staff, range, out, new, investment, between, supply-chain
