Polytechnic University may be summarized in an RFID context as follows:
1. Introduction
. Conventional labeling techniques
. RF Device characterization
. Progress with standards for RFID
. Regulatory implications (EPCglobal)
. Business drivers
2. Current application areas
. Retail industries (includes jewelry)
. Transport industries (air, shipping, vehicle)
. Healthcare=medical developments
. Gaming (Casino) software support
. Supply chain integrity (refer www.technologyreview.com)
. Mobile education tools (e.g., PDA=GPS)
. Tracking and authentication of individuals (e.g., electronic passports and boarding
passes)
3. New developments
. Process integration (e.g., with biometrics and global positioning systems)
. Commercial work?¬‚ow automation (e.g., document tracking)
. Network security (includes RFID encryption and smartcard technologies)
. Printed and thin ?¬?lm electronics (includes reference to organic substrates)
Given that many of these topics are covered by other authors in this RFID Handbook, this
chapter will address the educational issues in highlighting the marketing and process
advantages of RFID and smart labels, namely:
. Solutions using RFID to limitations of existing technologies in automated identi-
?¬?cation domains
