Colynn Black, RFID Business Development Director, discusses key trends and challenges in the RFID industry.

  • Trend 1: Employee Credentials – As cybersecurity becomes increasingly important, organizations are moving from traditional passwords and PINs to RFID-based Identity Access Management solutions for secure employee credentials.
  • Trend 2: Touchless Interaction – The pandemic accelerated the adoption of contactless technology, particularly in retail and food sectors, where RFID-enabled touchless payments gained popularity.
  • Trend 3: Logistics and Supply Chain – RFID is transforming logistics, with applications in cargo tracking, environmental monitoring during transit, and inventory management in warehouses.

One major challenge with RFID adoption is the initial cost, including tags, readers, and software. Businesses must weigh these costs against potential ROI when considering RFID implementation.

Colynn aims to simplify RFID technology through his video series, helping businesses understand how RFID can drive growth and efficiency.
