Chinese RFID Adoption Takes Many Forms

During the past five years, Impinj China, the Shanghai-based division of RFID technology provider Impinj, says it has seen the demand for passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID technology increasing across Asia. Leading that momentum are consumer goods manufacturers in China, with factories employing RFID technology for work-in-progress (WIP) and logistics-visibility applications, according to Yue Xi Savage, Impinj's VP of Asia-Pacific (APAC). China's banking and transportation sectors are also contributing to the region's demand for RFID technology, as is its retail industry, with anti-counterfeiting solutions.
