Which RFID Flavor Is Right for You?

Today, the potential for consistent and reliable RFID is here and within reach.  RAIN RFID, a brand name for passive UHF solutions, has proven to be an extremely effective asset tracking technology. RAIN RFID offers a low total cost of ownership in environments where large numbers of items must be tracked over a wide area. 

Because of its proven business value, RFID has finally come into its own. Now a mature technology in the retail sector, RFID is quickly expanding into a wide variety of industries and applications:

  • For the transportation and logistics industry, RFID improves asset visibility, data and quality for a extensive list of applications—including distribution, shipping and receiving, warehouse operation, asset tracking and baggage tracking. Delta Airlines, for example, is deploying RFID baggage tracking technology, a first for U.S. carriers, providing customers with improved real-time tracking of luggage throughout the travel experience.
  • For manufacturing operations, RFID enables smarter decisions with real-time tracking for work-in-process, product identification, asset tracking and more. Its RAIN RFID solution is helping Volvo track vehicles through production for more efficient and accurate manufacturing.
  • According to the RAIN RFID Alliance, more than 100 retailers worldwide use RAIN RFID, because it helps them boost sales, reduce out of stocks and improve productivity – by enhancing inventory visibility, improving asset tracking and order fulfillment, and more. Athletic apparel retailer Lululemon recently reported that RFID was a major factor in the company’s ability to remain flexible in responding to changing consumer demands.
  • In healthcare, RFID is helping hospitals increase efficiency, reduce costs and elevate patient care — for everything from records management to asset tracking.  Mayo Clinic is using RFID to track equipment and staff to help them improve care delivery.
