This week Thing Magic, a company that builds embedded RFID readers and other products, launched 100 Uses of RFID.
Under this program, the company is profiling one use of radio frequency identification technology every business day on its blog, and aggregating the posts on a dedicated Web page.
100 Uses will outline a new use every business day for five months. So far, the project has outlined only five.
- Race Timing with RFID – How Rosie Ruiz Changed an Industry
- Hospital Inventory Control with UHF RFID – What if Your Goods Could Talk?
- Enhancing the Patient Experience with RFID – “It’s Like Angels Singing”
- The Batteryless RFID Imperative in Healthcare – Patient-Centric Applications That Are Changing the Healthcare Landscape
- The Next Revolution in Wireless and Mobility – How RFID and Sensing Is Automating Identification, Data Collection, and Location Systems
Can they keep this up 95 more times? That seems like a rough row to hoe. After all, three of the five concern the healthcare industry. But if so, it should prove a very nice survey of current usage. At any rate, we think it will at least provide a nice entrance into the breadth of current RFID use for those new to the Internet of Things.
