Bag Maker Adopts RFID Solution to Prevent Counterfeits

German messenger-bag manufacturer Bagjack is deploying a new RFID-based anti-counterfeiting solution from Berlin startup Serfides, intended to help confirm the authenticity of goods, as well as identify instances in which the product may have undergone an unexpected channel on its way to consumers. This past summer, Bagjack piloted the technology by tagging its high-end products with Near Field Communication (NFC) RFID tags, and by then reading those tags as they left the manufacturing site. But now, the company intends to instruct some of its dealers in Japan, as well as its own international scouts, to begin reading the tags, to ensure that the bags stay on the expected supply chain route. - See more at: http://www.rfidjournal.com/articles/view?11021#sthash.kDEw30tz.dpuf
