What the RFID Geek Said

Wednesday, May 23, 2007

At the recent Academic Convocation session at RFID Journal’s spring conference, Dieter Uckelmann of the LogDynamics Lab at the University of Bremen, Germany, reportedly declared RFind’s technology a great “low-cost, low-infrastructure option for real-time locating.”

In an independent, academic study comparing WLAN and passive UHF technical approaches to a single supply chain problem, Uckelmann found the RFind tag to tag technology to produce superior results (given a total cost perspective).

But here’s one thing to consider: RFind is definitely tooting its own horn, having posted this announcement. Nevertheless, you can find out about the company’s latest offerings at www.RFind.com[end]
