Book Description:
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of an object applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. RFID has many applications; for example, it is used in enterprise supply chain management to improve the efficiency of inventory tracking and management. This book presents current research from across the globe in the study of radio frequency identificatio, including the role of RFID in agriculture; plants with implanted RFID microchips to yield safer and more wholesome products; radio frequency identification in the support and transmission of medical information in the field of disaster medicine; and RFID adoption in the developed and developing world.
