Australian army troops in Iraq will use radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to monitor the movement of equipment from early next year.
Coles Myer has teamed up with Intel Australia and Sun Microsystems for a two-month trial using Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) tagging in Coles Myer distribution centres.
Australia will have its first full radio frequency identification device (RFID) deployment by the end of this year, according to Capgemini's global technology lead Jonathan Loretto. However he says there needn't be any privacy concerns as we're only getting the "ute" version, not the Ferrari.
Australian businesses should carefully examine whether radio frequency identification (RFID) is useful for their companies or not, said Oracle vice president of global strategic business development Allyson Fryhoff.
Compared to the hype over the consumer privacy implications of radio frequency identification (RFID), the potential of the technology for business in Australia has received scant attention.
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has generated a lot of interest recently, and promises to generate a lot more in 2004.
Will corporate leaders broadly adopt the draconian measures in this cautionary tale? Not likely. But once RFID sensors are smart, cheap and pervasive, the potential for abuse will be significant.
Medical information will soon be shooting across Western Australia's regional expanses, with the development of a new AU$21.3 million medical communications network which will cover 2.55 million square kilometres and reach 454,000 people.
The economic outlook is extremely hopeful; but are we doing everything we can to make sure it lasts?
