Speaker 1: You've probably encountered it today, maybe without even realizing. That
Speaker 1: quick tap of your credit card perhaps, or the keyfob
Speaker 1: unlocking your car, or maybe even a security tag you
Speaker 1: saw in a store. We're talking about this well invisible
Speaker 1: technology that's constantly identifying and tracking things around us.
Speaker 2: It's everywhere, really.
Speaker 1: Exactly, So today we're taking a deep dive into radio
Speaker 1: frequency identification or RFID. RFID it's a technology that's you know,
Speaker 1: quietly been evolving for decades, but now it seems like
Speaker 1: it's really becoming a cornerstone businesses, logistics, even security.
Speaker 2: It's hitting critical mass, you could say.
Speaker 1: Our mission today then, is to unpack the sources you've provided.
Speaker 1: We want to reveal the frankly fascinating history of RFID,
Speaker 1: explore some applications you might not expect. Oh, definitely confront
Speaker 1: some of the controversies, because there are controversies.
Speaker 2: There always are with tracking tech and peer.
Speaker 1: Into a future where well, it sounds like nearly every
Speaker 1: thing could be talking to each other. So yeah, get
Speaker 1: ready for some surprising facts, maybe a few aha moments
Speaker 1: along the way. Sounds good, Okay, So RFID for our
Speaker 1: listeners who know the basics, what's maybe a core concept
Speaker 1: that might still surprise them. And why now, why is
Speaker 1: it gaining so much traction after wealth decades?
Speaker 2: Right? Well, at its heart, RFID uses radio waves, simple enough,
Speaker 2: but it's about automatically identifying individual.
Speaker 1: Items individual Okay, yeah, think of it.
Speaker 2: Like giving every single object its own unique digital fingerprint.
Speaker 1: Huh, a digital fingerprint.
Speaker 2: I like that exactly. And this fingerprint it's broadcast wirelessly
Speaker 2: from a tiny chip attached to an antenna. That whole package,
Speaker 2: that's your RFID tag. Right now, the concept itself isn't new,
Speaker 2: as you said, but what is new, relatively speaking, is
Speaker 2: our ability to make these tags incredibly small, incredibly cheap.
Speaker 2: Ah the cost fact, the cost exactly, and you combine
Speaker 2: that with the sheer scale and complexity of modern supply chains. Well,
Speaker 2: that's what's really held it forward.
Speaker 1: Now, it's interesting that idea of a digital fingerprint, So
Speaker 1: this tech has been around a while. Then, it's not
Speaker 1: some brand new invention, oh not at all.
Speaker 2: And that's one of the striking things. It's longevity. The
Speaker 2: earliest practical application it actually dates way back to the
Speaker 2: end of World War two.
Speaker 1: Really World War two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the British used a well rudimentary form of it
Speaker 2: to distinguish friendly aircraft from enemy ones. You know, the
Speaker 2: classic iff identify friend or faux system wow okay named
Speaker 2: Harry Stockman even predicted its potential back in nineteen forty eight,
Speaker 2: but it took a good thirty years or so for
Speaker 2: practical commercial uses to really emerge. Things like tagging livestock
Speaker 2: right for the early toll road passes, security access cards.
Speaker 2: Those are the early days. Then the nineteen seventies saw
Speaker 2: some important groundwork with the European Article numbering, the Ean collaboration,
Speaker 2: But the real sort of paradigm shift the moment it
Speaker 2: started looking like today's Internet of Things. That was really
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, Okay, what happened then? That's when our
Speaker 2: FID advocates formed the Autoid Center. Their vision wasn't just
Speaker 2: tracking boxes. It was a global network where every single
Speaker 2: item could wirelessly communicate. And the goal was crucial developing
Speaker 2: very low cost disposable.
Speaker 1: Tax disposable right, so you could put it on anything
Speaker 1: pretty much.
Speaker 2: And the first really big field test of this whole
Speaker 2: vision that was at a Sam's Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: back in two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: Elsa, Okay, and with that autoid center pushing this Internet
Speaker 1: of things vision, which big players jumped on board first?
Speaker 1: What made them take that leap?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right to ask about the big players, because
Speaker 2: those results from the Tulsa pilot in two thousand and one,
Speaker 2: they got noticed quickly by whom by the real prime movers.
Speaker 2: We're talking Walmarts and the US Department Defense the DoD,
Speaker 2: huge organizations both announced they intended to adopt RFID in
Speaker 2: a big way. Wow. And by two thousand and three
Speaker 2: you had EPC Global established. Their whole purpose was to
Speaker 2: support this Electronic Product Code or EPC network, basically aiming
Speaker 2: for a global standard so items could be identified automatically
Speaker 2: anywhere in the supply chain.
Speaker 1: So these mandates from giants like Walmart and the DoD
Speaker 1: they must have just forced the issue right, created a
Speaker 1: huge pressure for suppliers to it all.
Speaker 2: So absolutely, it definitely created a flurry of activity. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and yeah, a lot of friction too. I can imagine Walmart.
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it, they process over six billion
Speaker 2: cases a year. They mandated their top one hundred suppliers
Speaker 2: had to be RFID enabled the case and palette level
Speaker 2: by January two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: That's a tight deadline for such a big shift.
Speaker 2: It was, and the do defaullowed suit. They needed tags
Speaker 2: for their what eighty billion dollars supply system. Their focus
Speaker 2: was asset visibility, life cycle management. They desperately wanted to
Speaker 2: avoid repeating situations like Operation Desert Storm.
Speaker 1: What happened there?
Speaker 2: Apparently something like sixty percent of their shipping containers couldn't
Speaker 2: even be identified when they arrived. Huge caches of supplies
Speaker 2: just vanished into the system. RFID was seen as the solution.
Speaker 1: Okay, so these mandates are rolling out. Emiplayers must have
Speaker 1: been thrilled about this extra cost and complexity being forced
Speaker 1: on them.
Speaker 2: Uh, thrilled is probably not the word most would have used.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured now.
Speaker 2: The pushback initially was pretty significant. I mean, you had
Speaker 2: the proponents painting this picture of widespread adoption, but on
Speaker 2: the ground, companies.
Speaker 1: Were struggling with what specifically.
Speaker 2: Well, first, just the physics of RFID radio waves, right,
Speaker 2: they don't always play nice with things like heavy metal
Speaker 2: or liquids water right, interference big time. Then there was
Speaker 2: a whole challenge of integrating this completely new stream of
Speaker 2: information into their existing, often very old, legacy it system.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare.
Speaker 2: And crucially the cost who pays tags were maybe twenty
Speaker 2: to thirty five cents back then, which sounds cheap, but
Speaker 2: multiply that by millions or billions of items adds up
Speaker 2: fast exactly. Plus the readers, the software, the installation, you
Speaker 2: could be looking at fifty thousand to two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars per cit. It just didn't seem feasible
Speaker 2: for tagging, you know, a single two of toothpaste.
Speaker 1: So what happened? Did people just ignore it?
Speaker 2: Not if they wanted to keep supplying Walmart or the
Speaker 2: DoD A lot of suppliers initially just adopted what became
Speaker 2: known as a slap and ship approach slap in two, yeah,
Speaker 2: basically doing the bare minimum, just take a tag on
Speaker 2: the pallet or case to meet the mandate, ship it out,
Speaker 2: but without really investing in using the data or changing
Speaker 2: their internal processes, which you know, raises the really important
Speaker 2: question for the companies that did stick with it, what
Speaker 2: actually incentivized them beyond just ticking a compliance box?
Speaker 1: Right, So it's clearly not just about meeting mandates. Then
Speaker 1: if you get past that initial slap and ship. What's
Speaker 1: the real strategic value. How does RFID actually help businesses
Speaker 1: beyond just you know, keeping the big customers happy.
Speaker 2: The ultimate value proposition. It really comes down to the knowledge.
Speaker 2: It provides actionable knowledge. Ok It's not just knowing where
Speaker 2: your products are at any given moment, although that's part
Speaker 2: of it. It's about understanding how you can use that
Speaker 2: knowledge to fundamentally improve how your business runs, processing orders,
Speaker 2: managing inventory, forecasting demand, and ultimately selling more stuff. The
Speaker 2: real deep benefit comes when RFAD is integrated into a
Speaker 2: bigger strategy, a drive for optimizing the entire supply chain
Speaker 2: and to end.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's unpack that a bit. Our sources talk about
Speaker 1: supply chains transforming from these linear things into collaborative networks.
Speaker 1: How does RFID enable that shift?
Speaker 2: Well, think about traditional supply chains. Yeah, pretty linear, right,
Speaker 2: Raw materials come in one end, finish goods go out
Speaker 2: the other. But today it's way more complex. It's a network.
Speaker 2: You've got raw material suppliers, maybe contract manufacturers, design partners involved,
Speaker 2: multiple logistics providers, maybe third party warehouses, all scattered across
Speaker 2: the globe. It's a web, exactly, a complex web. RFID
Speaker 2: helps manage that complexity. By providing direct access and visibility
Speaker 2: into that whole interconnected linkage, the goods themselves can literally
Speaker 2: talk their status and location to anyone or any system
Speaker 2: that needs to know, no need for manual scanning or
Speaker 2: data entry at every step.
Speaker 1: Can you give an example.
Speaker 2: Sure Procter and Gamble, for instance, then stelled an RFID
Speaker 2: system in one of their Spanish manufacturing facilities. Cost them
Speaker 2: less than one hundred thousand dollars, which sounds like a lot,
Speaker 2: but listen to this. They put readers on their forklists
Speaker 2: and tags on the pallets. The result they achieved one
Speaker 2: hundred percent order accuracy, They reduce the number of forklift
Speaker 2: drivers needed by one per shift, and they got a
Speaker 2: full return on their investment within one year.
Speaker 1: Wow, just from tracking pallets.
Speaker 2: Better, Just from that initial step. And then if you
Speaker 2: connect that to the bigger picture, retailers lose on average
Speaker 2: about four percent of sales every year just because items
Speaker 2: are out of stock on the shelf.
Speaker 1: Four percent. That's huge for a big retail.
Speaker 2: It's massive for company the size of Walmart. That could
Speaker 2: be what twelve billion dollars in additional revenue just gone.
Speaker 2: RFID helps eliminate that by providing real time data on
Speaker 2: product movement, you know exactly when something leaves the back room,
Speaker 2: when it hits the shelf, when it's sold, so you
Speaker 2: can replenish immediately based on actual consumption, not just estimates
Speaker 2: or you know, guessing.
Speaker 1: That level of real time data really is transformative. What
Speaker 1: stands up most to you about how that kind of
Speaker 1: visibility changes how companies operate day to day.
Speaker 2: I think it's the shift from being reactive to being
Speaker 2: proactive instead of scrambling when you realize you're out of stock,
Speaker 2: you see the trend happening, and you can react before
Speaker 2: the shelf is empty. It allows for much smarter, more
Speaker 2: efficient operations across the board, less waste, less manual effort,
Speaker 2: better decisions.
Speaker 1: Makes sense now beyond just tracking palettes and boxes and warehouses,
Speaker 1: which is sort of the classic example. Our sources show
Speaker 1: RFID popping up in some well pretty surprising places. Where
Speaker 1: else is this tech making a difference?
Speaker 2: Oh, the applications are incredibly diverse. Now it's really moved
Speaker 2: beyond just the supply chain. Think about security for instance, Okay,
Speaker 2: counterfeiting a massive global problem, right, billions, maybe trillions of
Speaker 2: dollars some estimates put it at five seven percent of
Speaker 2: all global merchandise trade.
Speaker 1: That's staggering.
Speaker 2: It is RFID offers what some call intelligent authenticity, a
Speaker 2: way to verify if for product is genuine, like Pfizer
Speaker 2: started using RFID tags on Viagra shipments to combat fakes
Speaker 2: and ensure patient safety.
Speaker 1: Smart protects the brand and the consumer exactly.
Speaker 2: And then think about the impact of nine to eleven.
Speaker 2: That dramatically heightened the focus on supply chain security, not
Speaker 2: just efficiency right.
Speaker 1: Cargo security became huge absolutely.
Speaker 2: The Department of Homeland Security DHS started using RSID pretty quickly,
Speaker 2: authenticating cargo containers coming into ports, testing border management systems
Speaker 2: like giving visitors RFID tags at ports of entry to
Speaker 2: track their movements, interesting and health facility of programs like
Speaker 2: CTPAT the Customs Trade Partnership against Terrorism. Companies who participated
Speaker 2: and improved their security, often using RFID, got benefits. Like Hasbro,
Speaker 2: the toy company. They managed to drastically reduce the number
Speaker 2: of times their shipments were held up by customs, went
Speaker 2: from over two hundred holes down to just forty five.
Speaker 2: That's a big deal for a business.
Speaker 1: Definitely saves time and money. What about other areas healthcare.
Speaker 2: Oh healthcare is a huge one and is literally saving lives.
Speaker 2: The US Navy implemented a system called tac MEDCs in Iraq.
Speaker 2: They used RFID enabled wristbands on wounded soldiers gave medics instant,
Speaker 2: real time access to their medical records right there in
Speaker 2: the field or in transit. Huge improvement in care. Wow.
Speaker 2: And in civilian hospitals too. Erlanger Medical Center uses it
Speaker 2: to track expensive equipment like IV pumps so they don't
Speaker 2: get lost or hoarded. They even used it to locate
Speaker 2: missing babies once.
Speaker 1: That's incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Jacoby Medical Center in New York they used
Speaker 2: RFID for patient identification at the bedside. Achieved one hundred
Speaker 2: percent accuracy eliminating errors in medication or procedures.
Speaker 1: That's critical. It seems like the applications are endless. I mean,
Speaker 1: our sources even mention it being used for security at
Speaker 1: the Academy Awards.
Speaker 2: YEP, tracking access making sure only authorized people are where
Speaker 2: they should be. It's surprisingly versatile.
Speaker 1: What other sort of everyday maybe unexpected uses are out there?
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned toll passes earlier, that's RFID. Many modern
Speaker 2: car keys have RFID transponders in them. That actually helped
Speaker 2: cut carthiffs by something like fifty percent in Europe after
Speaker 2: it became widespread in the late nineties.
Speaker 1: Huh, didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Libraries use it to track books, makes check and check
Speaker 2: out way faster. Some elementary schools in Japan use it
Speaker 2: to track when kids arrive and leave school grounds for safety.
Speaker 2: Even Coca Cola put RFID readers on vending machines not
Speaker 2: just for inventory, but to get data on sales patterns.
Speaker 2: Apparently it gave them an eighteen to twenty three percent
Speaker 2: net profit lift on those.
Speaker 1: Machines just from better data, just from.
Speaker 2: Knowing what's selling when and keeping them stocked optimally. It's
Speaker 2: really adaptable. Ford tracks tires with it for recall management.
Speaker 2: General Motors uses it to optimize forklift roots in their plants,
Speaker 2: cutting hundreds of miles of unnecessary travel per shift in
Speaker 2: some cases.
Speaker 1: Okay, So listening to all this, RFID sounds like a
Speaker 1: complete technological marvel. Right solves problems in logistics, security, healthcare,
Speaker 1: vending machines.
Speaker 2: It does offer a lot of solutions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But and there's always a butt, isn't there, Especially
Speaker 1: with tracking technology, there's this inherent tension privacy concerns immediately
Speaker 1: spring to mind. What are some of those key challenges
Speaker 1: and well, the pushback that emerged.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, the privacy debate has been and continues to be
Speaker 2: a really significant hurdle is probably the biggest non technical.
Speaker 1: Challenge alongside the technical ones.
Speaker 2: Yeah, alongside the practical challenges. Like we mentioned, the physics
Speaker 2: of radio waves still cause issues, interference from metal liquids
Speaker 2: that hasn't completely gone away, right, And the complexity of
Speaker 2: integrating all this new data into existing often creaky old
Speaker 2: IT systems that's still a major effort for many companies,
Speaker 2: Plus the ongoing need for better global standardization. So tags
Speaker 2: work everywhere seamlessly.
Speaker 1: Okay, But the privacy side.
Speaker 2: Right, privacy, that's where things get really contentious. Probably the
Speaker 2: most famous early case involved Gillette. They did a pilot
Speaker 2: program putting RFID tags on mock three E razorblade packages
Speaker 2: at Walmart.
Speaker 1: I remember hearing something of that.
Speaker 2: It sparked a huge consumer boycott led by a group
Speaker 2: called Caspian Consumers against Supermarket Privacy Invasion in numbering catching
Speaker 2: name very Their concerns were pretty fundamental. Consumers might be
Speaker 2: buying products with tags and not even know it. The
Speaker 2: potential for those tags to be read remotely, maybe after
Speaker 2: you've bought the item without your consent, And the big one,
Speaker 2: the possibility of linking that unique item ID on the
Speaker 2: tag back to your credit card, your loyalty card, essentially
Speaker 2: linking the product to you, the.
Speaker 1: Buyer, creating a detailed profile of purchases exactly.
Speaker 2: And then some proposed uses really pushed buttons, like metroag
Speaker 2: in Germany testing readers inside dressing rooms ostensibly for inventory.
Speaker 2: But you can see why that raises serious privacy flex Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Our sources even mentioned that the original technical term
Speaker 1: for an RFID reader was an interrogator. That just sounds
Speaker 1: a bit Orwellian, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: It really does evoke that kind of image. Yeah, The
Speaker 2: potential for some critics put it an Orwellian world of
Speaker 2: cont certainly exists conceptually, how so, well you hear about
Speaker 2: research into things like microscopic nanotags so small they're essentially invisible,
Speaker 2: or even you know, suggestions from years ago about doctors
Speaker 2: considering implanting chips and newborns to track them for life.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's unsettling, it is, and it forces a
Speaker 2: really important question, maybe the central question how do we
Speaker 2: balance the clear undeniable benefits of this technology, the efficiency,
Speaker 2: the safety, the security, with fundamental privacy rights. How do
Speaker 2: we make sure we harness its power responsibly?
Speaker 1: That's the million dollar question, isn't it? So moving from
Speaker 1: the concerns back to the practicalities, if a company does
Speaker 1: want to adopt our FID today, maybe moving beyond just
Speaker 1: that basic compliance, what's the smart way forward? How do
Speaker 1: I ensure they actually see those strategic benefits.
Speaker 2: We talked about. Oh, first and foremost, they need a
Speaker 2: clear business strategy. It can't just be about the technology
Speaker 2: for technology's sake, right, You have to carefully enumerate the
Speaker 2: potential costs, and they're still real. Tags might be cheaper,
Speaker 2: maybe a twenty dollars TEP for forty five sense Now
Speaker 2: printers can be five thousand, eight thousand dollars, readers five
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five hundred dollars each, and the middleware,
Speaker 2: the software that makes sense of the data, that can
Speaker 2: run from fifteen thousand dollars to well over one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: So significant investments.
Speaker 2: Still, absolutely, But then you weigh that against the potential
Speaker 2: benefits reduced out of stocks, better inventory accuracy, lower labor costs,
Speaker 2: improve security. The key is to look for self funding
Speaker 2: opportunities projects that can generate quick short term paybacks to
Speaker 2: justify the initial outlay and build momentum.
Speaker 1: So pilot programs seem absolutely essential. Then to test the
Speaker 1: waters improve the value. What do our sources say makes
Speaker 1: for a successful pilot?
Speaker 2: Pilots are definitely critical. You don't want to go for
Speaker 2: a massive, big bang implementation right away. A good pilot
Speaker 2: should be really well defined in scope, keep it relatively short,
Speaker 2: ideally no longer than three months. Okay, it needs a
Speaker 2: strong project manager, someone who can really drive it. And
Speaker 2: crucially it needs cross functional support. You need buy in
Speaker 2: from it, operations, logistics, maybe even marketing. And you absolutely
Speaker 2: must have clear measurable goals from the outset. What are
Speaker 2: you do trying to prove or improve?
Speaker 1: Any examples of companies doing this well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marks and Spencer, the big British retailer. They started
Speaker 2: small tagging reusable plastic trays used for moving goods, that
Speaker 2: worked well, proved the concept, built confidence exactly. Then they
Speaker 2: moved on to tagging higher value items like suits and
Speaker 2: eventually even lingerie for item level tracking. In some stores.
Speaker 2: They found it drastically improved. Customer service staff could find
Speaker 2: sizes instantly, an inventory accuracy went way up.
Speaker 1: And Gillette, despite the earlier controversy.
Speaker 2: Celette, Yes, they undertook a broader initiative they called a
Speaker 2: Functional Excellence program focus on optimizing their supply chain processes first,
Speaker 2: then they integrated RFID where it made sense. The combination
Speaker 2: reportedly increased their service levels by ten percent, reduced inventories
Speaker 2: by a whopping twenty five percent, and cut overall costs
Speaker 2: by three percent.
Speaker 1: So the lesson there is fix the process first, then apply.
Speaker 2: The tech often. Yes, it wasn't just about slapping tags
Speaker 2: on things. It was about optimizing the underlying business processes
Speaker 2: and using RFID to enable those improvements. And what this
Speaker 2: really highlights is that the companies who adopted early and
Speaker 2: strategically are finding real tangible bottom line benefits. And as
Speaker 2: the costs inevitably continue to decline, you're going to see
Speaker 2: more and more industries moving beyond just basic compliance towards
Speaker 2: strategic value driven applications.
Speaker 1: So, wrapping this all up, what does this mean for
Speaker 1: the future of RFID? Where is this technology ultimately heading?
Speaker 1: Is it just going to be everywhere.
Speaker 2: I think its widespread adoption is well pretty much inevitable.
Speaker 2: At this point. We're clearly moving towards what you could
Speaker 2: call a wireless business environment, and that concept of an
Speaker 2: internet of things is becoming an internet of artifacts, where
Speaker 2: everyday objects can communicate directly, not just be tracked, but
Speaker 2: actively communicate status, location, condition, enabling what enabling what some
Speaker 2: call ad hoc processing opportunities, basically systems reacting automatic and
Speaker 2: intelligently based on real time information from objects and giving
Speaker 2: us that true real time visibility across network.
Speaker 1: You mentioned mesh networking earlier.
Speaker 2: Right, that's a potentially huge development. Instead of every tag
Speaker 2: needing to talk directly back to a fixed reader or
Speaker 2: base station, devices could relay information to each other, creating
Speaker 2: a mesh. Imagine a massive warehouse or even a battlefield.
Speaker 2: A tag over here might not be able to reach
Speaker 2: the main reader, but it can talk to another tag
Speaker 2: or device closer to it, which then relays the message along.
Speaker 2: It creates a much more resilient, flexible, and potentially wider
Speaker 2: reaching network.
Speaker 1: That could be revolutionary for certain environments.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But the future challenge I think won't actually be
Speaker 2: generating the data with RFID and other sensors. We're going
Speaker 2: to have an absolute avalanche of data, data overload. Precisely,
Speaker 2: the real challenge, the next frontier is going to be
Speaker 2: data reasoning. How do we build systems that can make
Speaker 2: sense of this flood of information, turn it into truly intelligent,
Speaker 2: actionable insights automatic.
Speaker 1: And RFID is a key piece of that puzzle.
Speaker 2: It's a crucial ingredient. It provides the raw, real time
Speaker 2: data about the physical world that these intelligence systems will
Speaker 2: need to interpret. It's foundational to building what could become
Speaker 2: a superior intelligent value network.
Speaker 1: So quite a journey. What began as essentially a wartime
Speaker 1: necessity identifying aircraft has evolved into this invisible force that's
Speaker 1: reshaping global commerce, security, logistics, even healthcare and our daily routines.
Speaker 1: It really has from tracking those critical military supplies like
Speaker 1: in desert storm to ensuring patient safety in hospitals. Today,
Speaker 1: RFID really does promise this world of well unprecedented visibility
Speaker 1: and efficiency.
Speaker 2: When used thoughtfully.
Speaker 1: Yes, So here's a final thought for you, the listener.
Speaker 1: Consider your own work, maybe your daily routine. Are there
Speaker 1: any overlooked black holes of information, things that go missing,
Speaker 1: processes that are inefficient because you just don't know where
Speaker 1: something is or what its status is. What problems could
Speaker 1: you potentially solve if the odd jecson your world could
Speaker 1: simply talk to you or your systems via RFID, providing
Speaker 1: that real time knowledge. What could be optimized or fixed?
Speaker 1: Something to think about,
