Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses electronic tags to store data which in turn can be accessed in real time wirelessly. There is great potential for RFID technology in our society. RFID tags can be used for supply chain management, inventory systems, animal tracking, instant payments or even human implantation. Standards in the RFID industry are examined with an emphasis place on global standardizing bodies. With the growing use of RFID devices in supply chain management and global shipping, several shipping standards including EPC and ASN are examined. Security has become a major concern with several threats to RFID technology recently exposed. Several solutions are presented for firms wishing to implement RFID technology and minimize the risk to sensitive information and company systems.
