RFID transmits data wirelessly and is read-write technology. Zebra Technologies (Vernon Hills IL) says it has the smallest footprint of any such unit in the industry. Applications include inventory management; product dose and specimen verification for pharmaceuticals; and item authentication in manufacturing and retailing.
