These systems are used for a wide range of applications that track, monitor, report,

automotive industry and logistics, as well as in warehouses and retail stores. Most cars
are equipped with a remote control to open and lock a door. Money cards are used for

has also been seen for the application of RFID in capital asset management applications
such as keeping track of maintenance tools in the aircraft maintenance sector. RFID has the
ability of giving a unique identity to each tagged object. Hence, there is a vision to extend
this technology to item-level tagging (other than pallet and case-level tagging).
Radio frequency identi?¬?cation is revolutionizing supply chain management, replacing
bar codes as the main object tracking system. RFID technologies better manage supply
chain operations by tracking the movement of products or assets through a system. Over
the last four years, major organizations in the U.
