Expanding RFID Reader Industry Meeting Customer Needs in the Era of Modern Technology and Complex Supply Chains

“Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Readers Market: Global Industry Analysis (2012-2016) and Opportunity Assessment (2017-2027)” is the title of a recent research study released by Future Market Insights (FMI). According to the survey, customers are being encouraged to use RFID technology by the rising ubiquity of modern technology and the complexity of supply chains. As a result, companies in the RFID reader industry are constantly expanding their product lines to satisfy the needs of customers everywhere.

According to the report, the global RFID readers market is expected to witness a significant CAGR of 12.3% from 2017 to 2027. The market was worth US$ 5545.5 Mn in 2017 and is expected to rise to a valuation of US$ 17,758.8 Mn by the end of the forecast period.

Retail Sector to Intensify its Deployment of RFID Technology

Growing demand for efficient supply chain operations in the retail sector is leading to a rising demand for RFID technology. RFID tags and readers are installed by companies as a part of their security issues to prevent risk of theft and loss. Companies are intensifying the adoption of automated item identification systems for supply chain management in order to improve inventory allocation efficiencies. The growing need for efficient supply chain management is expected to support revenue growth of the RFID readers market during the forecast period. RFIDs store detailed information up to 2 KB related to the product on which it is tagged. Prices and details of the product with RFID tags are spontaneously chronicled when the customer approaches the counter, without scanning each and every product, which saves time of the customer. Furthermore, it permits cost tally in one scan, which saves time of the user as well as the product retailer.

Breech and Data Insecurity to Hinder Market Growth in the Long Run

RFID readers and tags do not have a locking system or for that matter, a secure password. As a result, the risk of information breach increases. The dearth of security systems is a restraining factor in the growth of the RFID readers market. Several companies in the healthcare and other industries avoid using these systems for asset tracking as there is a chance of information breach related to the usage of medicine.

With this factor restraining the growth of the market, it is yet to be seen where the global RFID readers market will stand in the next 10 years.

Why Retailers Should Avoid Using Passwords and Use RFID Technology?

In the modern retail business, security and efficiency are of utmost importance. Traditional methods of securing retail systems, such as passwords, have become increasingly inadequate due to their vulnerabilities and inefficiencies. Retailers are now seeking more advanced technologies to secure their operations and enhance customer experiences. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a prime example of this technology. This article explores why retailers must move away from passwords and how RFID technology, particularly through RFID readers, can revolutionize the retail industry.

The Problems with Passwords in Retail Business

1. Security Vulnerabilities

Passwords are a common target for cyber-attacks. Weak passwords, reused passwords, and phishing attacks can easily compromise retail systems. Once hackers gain access, they can steal sensitive customer information, manipulate inventory data, or disrupt operations.

2. Operational Inefficiency

Managing passwords is cumbersome and time-consuming. Employees need to remember multiple passwords, which often leads to password fatigue. Frequent password resets and lockouts can hinder productivity, causing delays and frustration among staff.

3. Compliance Issues

Many regulatory standards now require stronger authentication methods beyond just passwords. Retailers who rely solely on passwords may struggle to meet compliance requirements, risking fines and reputational damage.

How RFID Technology Enhances Retail Security and Efficiency

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology offers a more secure and efficient alternative to passwords. Here’s how RFID technology, especially through the use of RFID readers, can benefit the retail industry:

1. Enhanced Security

RFID tags and readers provide a robust security framework. Each RFID tag has a unique identifier that is nearly impossible to replicate. When an RFID reader scans a tag, it can verify the identity of an item or person without the risk of password breaches. This reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access and ensures that only authorized personnel can access sensitive areas or systems.

2. Streamlined Access Control

RFID technology simplifies access control within retail environments. Instead of using passwords to access systems or physical spaces, employees can use RFID-enabled badges or cards. This allows for quick, secure access, reducing the time spent on authentication processes. For instance, an employee can simply swipe their RFID badge to enter a secure area or log into a system, eliminating the need for remembering and entering passwords.

3. Improved Inventory Management

RFID readers can significantly enhance inventory management. Unlike barcode systems, RFID tags do not require line-of-sight scanning and can be read from a distance. This allows for rapid and accurate inventory counts, reducing the time and labor involved in manual inventory checks. Additionally, RFID technology can track inventory in real time, helping retailers maintain optimal stock levels and prevent theft.

4. Seamless Integration with POS Systems

RFID readers can be integrated with point-of-sale (POS) systems to streamline transactions. RFID-enabled items can be quickly scanned at checkout, reducing wait times and improving the overall customer experience. Furthermore, RFID technology can facilitate secure, contactless payments, enhancing security and convenience for customers.

5. Enhanced Customer Experience

RFID technology can personalize the shopping experience. For example, RFID-enabled loyalty cards can provide customers with personalized offers and discounts based on their purchase history. RFID readers can also help retailers track customer preferences and behavior, allowing for targeted marketing and improved customer service.

6. Compliance and Data Integrity

Using RFID technology helps retailers meet compliance requirements for data security and access control. RFID systems provide an audit trail of access and transactions, ensuring transparency and accountability. This can be particularly useful for regulatory audits and internal reviews, ensuring that retailers maintain high standards of data integrity and security.

Implementing RFID Technology in Retail

1. Choosing the Right RFID System

Retailers need to choose an RFID system that fits their specific needs. Factors to consider include the type of RFID tags (passive, active, or semi-passive), the range of the RFID readers, and the integration capabilities with existing systems. Consulting with RFID experts can help retailers select the best solution for their operations.

2. Training Staff

Proper training is essential for the successful implementation of RFID technology. Employees need to understand how to use RFID readers and tags effectively. Training should cover the benefits of RFID, how to handle RFID-enabled items, and the security protocols associated with RFID technology.

3. Integrating with Existing Systems

Integrating RFID technology with existing retail systems, such as inventory management and POS systems, is crucial. This ensures a seamless transition and maximizes the benefits of RFID technology. Retailers may need to work with IT specialists to ensure smooth integration and address any technical challenges.

4. Monitoring and Maintenance

Regular monitoring and maintenance of RFID systems are necessary to ensure optimal performance. Retailers should establish protocols for checking the functionality of RFID readers and tags, updating software, and addressing any technical issues promptly.

Conclusion

Passwords have long been a standard security measure in the retail industry, but their vulnerabilities and inefficiencies make them less suitable in today’s retail environment. RFID technology offers a more secure, efficient, and customer-friendly alternative. By adopting RFID readers and tags, retailers can enhance security, streamline operations, and provide a superior shopping experience. Embracing RFID technology is not just a step towards modernization; it is a critical move for retail businesses' future success and sustainability.

From doctors to nurses and administrative personnel, the team at GAMA is comprised of skilled individuals who are committed to providing the best care possible. All of the GAMA staff are highly educated with advanced degrees and have specialized training in their respective fields.

CLARA: Stunning! Speaking of the GAMA staff, rumors surrounding the hiring of doctors Pavel Frydel and Akane Akenawa have made headlines, with claims that they supposedly transplanted a liver infected with EHV, leading to the unfortunate demise of the patient shortly after. Such allegations might raise questions about the hospital's staff selection process and adherence to medical guidelines and ethical standards. Do you have any comment on these accusations, Ljudmila?

LJUDMILA: Er- well, Clara, the management of GAMA Hospital has vehemently denied all allegations of unethical practices and maintains that they uphold the highest standards of care for all patients. They state that they conduct thorough background checks on all staff members, including doctors, and that any individuals found to be involved in unethical practices are immediately removed from their position. The hospital has a strict code of ethics that all staff must adhere to, and any violations are taken very seriously. In response to the specific claims about the transplant procedure, GAMA states that they are investigating the matter in cooperation with the relevant authorities.

CLARA: Wonderful! I'm afraid that's all we have time for at the moment- lovely chatting with you again, Ljudmila!

Runners

(science fiction, 1100 words)

It’s the end of the fiscal year. Hunting season has begun.

Ultimately, it all kicked off with the invention of the “workplace transparency plan.” As ad revenue stagnated, social platforms instead offered corporate clients access to their employees’ private messages. For a small subscription fee, employers could learn who their workers were communicating with and retaliate as they saw fit.

Within months, an entire industry of talent recruiters found themselves stonewalled by a terrified workforce. With electronic communication lost to them, the recruiters — far behind on their quotas — resorted to more drastic methods.

Strive Solutions is a midsize software company on the third floor of a converted building in the old warehouse district. Its two vintage elevators are too old to support ID card readers, so a pair of security doors flanking the reception area are all that stand between potential intruders and Strive’s inner sanctum.

A few minutes past 3:00 in the afternoon, both elevators open and the mob piles out.

Runners always raid in force, the better to overwhelm any on-site security. Where once the typical recruiter was a bland, nonthreatening thirtysomething in business-casual pastels, now they trend toward linebackers’ builds and stab vests. Those who aren’t the general size and shape of a refrigerator are the most dangerous of all — quick, clever, and vicious.

Not one of them is over the age of 30. Running is a youngster’s game.

The security doors are RFID-locked, but made of glass. Somebody puts a boot through one of them, and the runners barely slow as they stampede through.

The bulk of Strive’s employees work in an open-plan area referred to as “the Pit” whenever management isn’t around. The runners swarm through it with ease, unhindered by hallways or doors, vaulting over desks and chairs when they need to.

Certain pieces of equipment are standard. Every runner carries a tablet, ruggedized to withstand all sorts of abuse and equipped with a fingerprint scanner. A simple swipe of a new recruit’s thumb and the contract is sealed, filed instantly with their new employer. Signatures were once the preferred endorsement, before someone realized a fingerprint was valid even if the owner of said finger was unconscious.

Most of the runners also carry weapons, usually truncheons or collapsible batons. Those who don’t are about to learn that Strive’s CEO has a blacksmithing hobby and an office full of medieval weapons.

The rest of a runner’s arsenal varies with personal preference.

Barry Duboc, like most of his colleagues, goes for the easy money: junior employees who are easily seduced by playground offices and extravagant launch parties, and are easily intimidated into signing anything put in front of them. Clients don’t pay much for cannon fodder like this, but Barry makes up the difference in volume.

Inside a military surplus document holder, its metal edges filed razor sharp, Barry carries photos of his client’s break lounge — stuffed wall-to-wall with vintage arcade games — and a laminated copy of their dense recreational calendar. Before long he’s herded a sizable number of impressionable young programmers away from the safety of their fellows.

A few yards away, a 6’7” runner with tattooed sclera and brass knuckles on both hands sinks his teeth into the earlobe of a production intern.

Seasoned runners like Tom Saunders know where the real money is: senior developers, not so easily swayed by treats, parties, or threats.

Tom never goes on a run without a copy of his client’s benefits package, a breakdown of their flexible working policy, and a stun gun. This time, though, Tom’s got a secret weapon: his client operates out of a refurbished boutique hotel and offers private offices to its senior employees. The promise of working behind a door that can close attracts two senior web developers, one production manager, and an automation engineer.

Shelly Fleming is a virtuoso; she glides through the bedlam of the Pit like a shark through a school of fish. Painstaking research, careful maneuvering, and perfect timing have brought her here, today, for one target alone.

Over the weekend, Strive’s lead software architect posted anonymously online about her struggles at work since transitioning. Unfortunately, the post went viral and a characteristic turn of phrase gave her away. She was summoned to Strive’s HR department ten minutes ago for a lecture on “undermining the company’s public image.”

Shelly bursts into the room with a six-figure contract and her client’s novel-length Diversity & Inclusion policy. If the architect took the time to actually read the policy, she’d quickly realize it was crafted with great care to serve as a flawless legal and political shield while entitling the company’s employees to no actual protection or recourse from discrimination. But time isn’t a luxury she has anymore.

She winds up at the center of a tug of war between Shelly and the HR manager, whose brightly painted nails carve deep lines into the architect’s arm as Shelly drags her from the room.

Of course, Strive has invested in countermeasures. An expensive renovation over the holidays transformed the entire office into a Faraday cage, ensuring no wireless signals can go in or out. The runners’ contracts are all hosted on a remote web service; they must get their prizes out of the building.

Barry ushers his pack of recruits back through reception, but the elevators take precious seconds to arrive and more to depart. Strive’s two security guards beat several of the defecting juniors unconscious before they can escape, and a particularly zealous manager drags another from the elevator as the doors close.

Tom knows better, and heads for the stairs; unfortunately, the route to the stairwell leads past Strive’s executive suite. He loses one of his recruits to a flying tackle from the COO, who adorns his desk with high school football trophies.

Shelly cased the office in advance. She leads the architect to an old fire escape at the far end of the floor, near the server room. The windows are locked, but a quick blow from Shelly’s collapsible baton and they’re both home free, clambering down the side of the building.

As quickly as it started, it’s all over.

Of the dozens of workstations arrayed throughout the Pit, almost half now sit empty. Broken glass and loose papers lie scattered across the floor, alongside a few office chairs knocked over in the chaos. Strive’s remaining workers peer uncertainly from beneath their desks.

A light breeze wafts through the shattered window.

Strive’s CEO storms and rages for an hour, cursing the disloyalty of his former employees. Then, shutting himself in his office, he places a call to his own recruiter.

Industry trend｜RFID temperature sensing tags garner multiple orders from lithium battery customers: What did this company do right?

With the rapid development of science and technology, lithium-ion batteries have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. From electric bicycles to electric vehicles, from portable electronic devices to large energy storage systems, the widespread use of lithium-ion batteries has brought great convenience to our lives. However, with the surge in the number of lithium-ion batteries, their potential safety risks have become increasingly prominent. Accidents such as fires and explosions occur from time to time, which not only pose a serious threat to people's lives and property safety, but also pose a huge challenge to environmental protection and social stability. In June this year, a fire in a lithium battery factory warehouse in South Korea claimed the lives of 22 people. Recently, a battery in an electric bicycle rental shop in downtown Manhattan caused a fire.

Traditionally, the temperature monitoring of lithium-ion batteries mainly relies on manual inspections and infrared temperature measurement equipment. Manual inspections are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in inaccurate temperature measurement results. Although infrared temperature measurement equipment can monitor temperature in real time, it is expensive and requires professional operation, which is costly and inefficient for large-scale battery storage and management. In addition, traditional temperature measurement methods can often only intervene after the problem occurs, and cannot provide early warning and prevention of potential safety risks. In this context, Brady Corporation has launched an innovative RFID-based temperature measurement solution, providing new protection for the safe use of lithium-ion batteries.

Advantages of RFID temperature measurement solution

In view of the limitations of traditional temperature measurement methods, Brady Corporation has launched an innovative RFID-based temperature measurement solution.

So far, seven companies are testing or deploying the system, and some are already able to identify rising temperatures before fires break out. In an initial pilot of the technology, three customers have successfully transitioned to full installations, including one end user operating a fully automated warehouse. The user used a combination of fixed readers and handheld readers to achieve real-time monitoring of approximately 100,000 batteries in the warehouse. With this technology, they are able to detect problems before they disrupt operations, allowing them to take quick action and reduce labor and operating costs.

In addition, RFID temperature measurement solutions can also be applied to scenarios such as electric vehicle charging stations and electric bicycle rental stores. In these scenarios, there are many batteries and many types, making management difficult. By adopting RFID temperature measurement solutions, real-time monitoring and early warning of battery temperature can be achieved, improving safety and management efficiency.

With the continuous expansion of lithium-ion battery applications and the continuous advancement of technology, RFID temperature measurement solutions will play a more important role in the future. On the one hand, with the continuous development of technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, RFID temperature measurement solutions will be deeply integrated with these technologies to achieve more intelligent and automated temperature monitoring and management. On the other hand, with the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the continuous improvement of regulations and policies, the safety and traceability requirements for lithium-ion batteries will become increasingly higher. RFID temperature measurement solutions will play an important role in this regard and provide strong support for the safe use and recycling of lithium-ion batteries.

The RFID-based temperature measurement solution launched by Brady Corporation provides new guarantees for the safe use of lithium-ion batteries. This solution has the significant advantages of low cost, high efficiency, and high reliability. It can realize real-time monitoring and early warning of battery temperature, and effectively avoid accidents such as fires and explosions. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, RFID temperature measurement solutions will play a more important role in the field of lithium-ion battery management and safety.
