Alien Technology Opens RFID Factory
Alien Technology, who called off their IPO a few months ago, has been moving ahead despite the perception of the market. They officially opened a 48,000 sq foot manufacturing center in the state of North Dakota. The plant has a yearly production capacity of 2 Bln UHF RFID tags. The goal is to eventually manufacture 10 Bln tags per year. Alien is working on manufacturing processes to bring the cost of tags down, as they make up a large portion of the total cost of an RFID project. [via Industry Week] This doesn't seem like a company that's all that worried about their future.
