Upcoming RFID Events
Using RFID has a list of several upcoming RFID-related events, expos and conferences.
RFID Helps Childrens' Hospital Track Medical Equipment
University of Chicago's Comer Children's Hospital is finding great benefit, as specified in the journal Congenital Cardiology Today, in using a cabinet-based RFID system to of high-cost equipment such as stents, catheters and guidewires. The cabinet system is called iRISupply and is made by Mobile Aspects, Inc.
Asset tracking and management is just one of the ways that hospitals are using RFID technology in the healthcare industry.
Tracking Travellers With RFID Plane Tickets
British scientists have come up with a way to track travellers in airports using a combination of RFID-enabled plane tickets and CCTV cameras. The project, called Optag, is being funded by the European Union, and the positive spin is that it could help steer late passengers to the right departure gate, as well help speed up the boarding of the larger planes, some of which hold up to 700 passengers.
