Improvements to come for RFID

In the past 5 years there have been some major improvements as it relates to RFID. I can highlight many but for this post I will highlight 3 future improvements. In 2010 a blog discussed three major improvements with RFID that I think are still relevant. Those improvements are as follows:

1. Energy Consumption - One of the reasons energy consumption is so important is the difference between an active tag and a passive tag. There are much fewer active tags in the industry due to battery-powered required for these tags.

2. Multiple tag Scanning - RFID readers get confused when trying to scan multiple tags at the same time. Although there has been a significant amount of improvement there is still a long way to go before RFID can process multiple tags at the same time without delay or confusion.

3. Cost Efficiency - This is the hardest obstacle for RFID to be the must-have for equipment tracking is the price. Due to costly production and maintenance costs, RFID readers and tags are rather expensive. We can look forward to the day when active tags consist of a single circuit, thereby greatly reducing the cost of production.
