RFID Journal was the world's first independent media company devoted solely to radio frequency identification and its many business applications. Now in its eighth year, RFID Journal is, by far, the world's leading source of RFID news and insights. Our mission is to help companies use RFID technologies to improve the way they do business.

RFID Journal was launched on March 1, 2002, in the belief that radio frequency identification was an important technology that would revolutionize the way companies around the world conduct business. Today, RFID is beginning to live up to that promise. As technical standards are established, costs come down and the technology matures, RFID adoption is spreading around the world.

RFID is being adopted in a wide variety of industries, including aircraft manufacturing, consumer electronics, consumer packaged goods, defense, homeland security and retail. It is being used not only for tracking goods in the supply chain, but also to reduce the counterfeiting of high-end products, such as pharmaceutical drugs, to track baggage in airports and medical supplies in hospitals, and as a payment system. Virtually every company on Earth will be required to use RFID in one way or another to remain competitive in the global market.

Our mission is to be the ultimate resource for businesspeople who need to understand how RFID can help their companies boost supply chain efficiencies, reduce inventories, limit theft, improve product availability and add convenience for consumers. RFID Journal serves the needs of those looking to take advantage of RFID technologies, with timely news, strategic analysis, networking opportunities, events and in-depth education.
