RFID is Key to IoT

Posted September 26, 2014 12:00 AM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

One of the hottest technology topics is the Internet of Things (IoT), and how the number of IoT enabled smart devices is skyrocketing. But the IoT is not a technology unto itself; rather, it is built upon a combination of existing and new processors, power sources, sensors, and communications technologies. No solution will work right "out of the box" to provide an end-to-end IoT implementation. RFID-enabled technologies, however, pemit smart tracking of materials and environmental sensing, key parts of the IoT. RFID Journal explains how RFID tags will play an integral role in the IoT.

Funny, that's never been in any tech' spec' I've ever designed to. My stuff is generally expected to work. Doesn't always tho'

Does that article actually say anything or make any sense?

I thought 'The Internet of Things' was a good idea until I found out my toaster was spending all of its free time on facebook chatting with a hot little microwave oven in Florida. And she was married to an exhaust fan, so that could have caused a lot of trouble.
