RFID Industry Workgroup

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is poised to fundamentally change the way organizations track, trace and manage their assets. This will have major implications for various industries including manufacturing, distribution, retail, healthcare and pharmaceuticals. That’s why UWEBC formed the RFID Industry Workgroup in 2003- to help members become more aware of RFID applications, issues, and challenges and become more competitive with the use of this emerging technology.
