RFID Lowdown - Wed Oct 25, 2006
RFID Job Layoffs At Sirit
Not long after purchasing two RFID tech companies, TradeWind Technologies and SAMSys Technologies,
the Canadian company Sirit is laying off about 25% of their small
staff, at two locations (UK, USA), as part of a restructuring. [via RFID Journal]
Given the shortage of skilled workers in the industry, I'm guessing
most of these people will not have too much trouble finding work
elsewhere. Let's hope that's the case.
Flowers For RFID
Or
is that RFID for flowers. A Dutch company, FloraHolland, is using RFID
to help manage many thousands of flower trolleys supplied by thousands
of vendors for daily auctions. The trolleys are tagged and thus make it
easy to find a particular when it is due up for auction. [via Computer Weekly]
Wi-Fi Challenges Active RFID In Health Care
Because
so many hospitals already have Wi-Fi networks installed, and equipment
that is Wi-Fi enabled, Wi-Fi vendors are going head-to-head with RFID
vendors for the healthcare asset management market. [via BusinessWire/ Biz Yahoo] ABI Research is offering a report for purchase on their findings in this regard.
