RFID held back by high cost and lack of standards

摘要

The world's largest courier and logistics operators are delaying wide adoption of radio frequency identification tagging technology because of cost, duplication of standards and inaccurate scanning. Industry giants such as FedEx, UPS and DHL do not expect to offer a full RFID service to customers for at least two to three years and will only be supporting limited roll-outs to comply with the RFID policies of retailers such as Tesco, Metro in Germany and Wal-Mart in the US.
