Covering both passive and active RFID, the challenges to RFID implementation

are addressed using specific industry research examples as well as common

integration issues. Key topics such as performance optimization and evaluation,

sensors, network simulation, RFID in the retail supply chain, and testing are

covered, as are applications in product lifecycle management in the automotive

and aerospace sectors, in anti-counterfeiting, and in health care.

This book brings together insights from the world’s leading research

laboratories in the field, including MIT, which developed the Electronic Product

Code (EPC) scheme that is set to become the global standard for objectidentification.
