Best Buy RFID Compliance: LG Experience

LG's RFID implementation was completed quickly and successfully certified to meet Best Buy's RFID compliance requirements. ...

RFID: Sanjay Sarma Testimony ...

From The Committee on Energy and Commerce, Dr. Sanjay Sarma, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology states ...

... "In 1999, the Uniform Code Council, Inc. (UCC), a not-for-profit standards making body based in Lawrenceville, N.J., which had spearheaded the adoption of bar code technology, joined with Procter & Gamble and The Gillette Co. in helping establish the Auto-ID (Automatic Identification) Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Sponsorship of the center soon grew to more than 100 global companies, and research spread beyond MIT to five other great research universities around the world: at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom; the University of Adelaide in Australia; Keio University in Tokyo, Japan; Fudan University in Shanghai, China; and the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. The center's mission was to develop RFID for use across the global supply chain. The vision was simple: harness the capability of RFID to create a world in which we can effectively track products throughout the supply chain using a single, global network as products move from one company to another, one country to another. The idea behind this vision was to make it as easy for one company to read another company's tags as it is for IBM computers to communicate with Apple machines over the Internet. One focus of the center's work was the development of the identification system for objects in the system -- the EPC. Another was the development of the entire system in which EPC tags could be used -- the EPCglobal Network. " ...
