There is real growth in the use of RFID in Supply Chain Management

Over the last couple of years, there was more hype about RFID rather than any real successful implementation in the real world, exception being the US Army. Even the mandate by Wal Mart was proving to be difficult as suppliers all over the world struggle to comply with their requirements.

Things are changing however, as this article about RFID printer and encoder sales shows. It would seem that the use of RFID in the CPG or FMCG vertical is really taking off. Healthcare seems to be ramping up as well. Another use of RFID that is mostly happening on the quiet is that of tracking books in libraries as this article on RFID for Libraries shows.
