RFID and the Automotive Industry: Competing at a Higher Level

The automotive industry has become more and more innovative throughout the last decade. On the face of things, we are seeing smart new digital and engineering technology being integrated into the products being developed. Look a little deeper, however, and it is clear that innovation is taking place in every area of the industry, and one particular aspect of this innovation is RFID technology. The modern automotive factory or assembly plant can be an enormous entity and needs to be carefully managed to work at its optimum level. RFID technology means that every single item can be accounted for at all times. For example, if a single item or a consignment of goods is lost or mislaid, an RIFD system can pinpoint its location in real time and correct the error.
