Big News In RFID
Just wanted to let you all know of some big news from Tego, Inc. We had a chance to see a demo of the company's latest "Drag-and-Drop" technology for encoding RFID tags. This seems to us to be a monumental milestone in RFID. Users can encode tags as easily as they share/move files in Windows. Very inexpensive and easy to integrate. And, it's in a format that most computer users already understand. Check out their Web site for more information.
Also, Intelleflex has some absolutely great things going on in produce tracking. This is likely to be a huge new market for our vendors. Watch for a story in our next issue and check out their site for details.
Impinj, always a great leader in chip technology, has been using its expertise and that of its longtime partner Intel, to come up with some great new industry offerings. We'll have all this in our next issue. Would love to hear any feedback you may have about industry trends.
