RFID technology

RFID technologies with the appropriate IT infrastructure help major distributors and manufacturers as well as other logistics operations such as the health care system, defense industries, and others deal with complex, global supply chains in which products and product shipments must be traced and identified in a noncontact, wireless fashion using a computer network. 

All of the above-listed requirements point to an automated, wireless-readable, sensory-based identification method and network that offer more functionalities, and are significantly smarter than the well-known bar code or the UPC—hence the new popularity of RFID technology. 

RFID technology to this point has had mixed success. While RFID has been tremendously successful in high-value asset tracking applications, it has only had moderate success in the low-cost applications that offer the largest potential markets. This has primarily been limited by the cost of current RFID, which is still a little too high for the target markets [4]. This, in fact, is the primary motivation for the use of organic transistors in low-cost RFID. Therefore, to facilitate a better... 

Radio frequency identihcation represents one of the most intriguing applications for organic TFTs. The key driver is clearly cost as a result, the real interest in RFID is driven by printing. Assuming that a fully printed process is realized, it is likely that a cost advantage for printed RFIDs will exist over conventional RFID technologies.

RFID has received a great deal of attention for its potential ability to perform noncontact object identification and to provide visibility at the point of use in a variety of different industries [11]. Although RFID is not a new technology as it dates back to the techniques developed to differentiate friendly aircraft from enemy warplanes in World War II, recent developments in computer technology and electronics have combined to make the RFID technology potentially viable for commercial purposes [12].
