RFID Technology Applications: RFID case studies Ebook

RFID technology may be hi-tech, but it is not rocket science. It does not take a PhD in Physics or Telecommunications to implement RFID technology applications to your own situation or business. All it takes is some knowledge about the RFID technology, to know precisely what it can do (strengths) and what it cannot do (weaknesses).

Hence the idea of this Ebook, which you can easily download to your PC or laptop. This free Ebook is an RFID application storybook, which has twenty five different RFID technology application stories from around the globe. In this book you will find how ordinary people and businesses have started benefiting from RFID technology.

Each RFID technology application story is divided into different parts which give details about the history and background information about the particular RFID technology application, problems encountered , how an RFID technology based solution has solved the problem and the future scenarios and trends.

This Ebook is designed to not only offer you an insight into how everyday people and businesses are using RFID technology to solve their real world problems, but also to provoke you into coming up with your own RFID application story. Instead of a regular printed book, we felt that an Ebook would be a better way, to convey information about a technology that is too fast for the world of printed books.

You can study the RFID case studies and then apply RFID technology to YOUR own business or profession. If it you do it in an interesting way, do let us know, we will expand this book to also include your RFID application story. For those who prefer the printed word, please print out a copy and read it anywhere you like. There are no restrictions on printing at all.

This Ebook does not have any complicated technical jargon, equations, diagrams, graphs or charts. There are also no illustrations. The book is designed to read more like a story book, which it is really. It tells you twenty five real life stories about RFID technology application.

The above RFID Case Studies book is meant for an audience that already has some knowledge of RFID technology. For those who have never heard of it before (which is highly unlikely given the current hype in the press all around the world) or for those who always like a good backgrounder, before starting their info-journey, I have prepared a short introductory chapter, which gives the basics and some explanation of the jargon associated with this technology.
