- RFID Tag Production On the Rise
Although there are lingering concerns by privacy advocates over the use of RFID, there's no doubt that the use of RFID tags continues to increase. According to a new report from In-Stat, over 1 billion tags were produced last year, and by 2010, that total will rise to 33 billion. Wal-Mart's requiring of their suppliers to use RFID tags are certainly one reason for the projected growth, as well as potential applications in both the industrial and retail sectors, such as the tracking of inventory.

- CIOs Urged to Inform Customers on How RFID Tags Will Be Used
Although there have been issues raised by privacy groups over the use of RFID tags to track consumers and their buying habits, many more CIOs are urging their companies to adopt the technology to keep track of their inventories and their supply chains. However, there is the thought that some companies are being forced to use RFID, especially some vendors who have been "directed" by Wal-Mart to use tags on all of their shipments.
In addition, some analysts are saying that CIOs, especially those involved in the retail industry, should come up with a strategy to assure consumers that they are not being tracked with the use of these tags. It is recommended they do, or else consumers may end up with a slanted awareness of RFID from what they see, hear, and read from privacy advocates that may or may not be entirely accurate.

- Is RFID Hot or Not?
A new study from ABI Research indicates that RFID is definitely one of the hotter technologies and momentum continues to grow for its adoption by a number of companies in all sorts of applications. In addition, ABI notes that vendors who manufacture label converters will continue to postion themselves in the marketplace as they determine which applications to focus on, including retail inventory tracking, supply chain environments, or any other situation where the movement of goods or people is essential to track.
