Successful Business with RFID, RTLS and Beyond
Successful Business
RF
technologies embrace Wi-Fi, WLAN, Wireless Sensors (Infrared, Ultrasonic,
Optical Proximity and others, Bar Code Terminals, RFID, RTLS, Remote Control,
Telematics, Voice and Data Communications (speech recognition), Video (face
recognition), Specialized Antennas for Short- and Long-range applications and
many others utilizing RF waves. An implementation of these technologies demands
a very careful consideration of physics behind all processes and specific
concern about environmental impacts. Synergy of several RF Technologies, if
properly applied, facilitates Decision-Making and achievements of
organizational objectives to maximize business performance and minimize losses.
