The One-stop RFID Event to Learn, Network, and Plan the Future

CAMBRIDGE, U.K.—The eighth IDTechEx RFID Europe event broke all previous records with over 350 delegates from 19 countries who heard major corporations sharing their RFID success and needs. According to IDTechEx, the four biggest RFID sectors by tag value in 2007 are contactless cards (the Chinese national ID card project shipping 350 million cards alone), animal tagging (due to government pressures in Asia-Pacific and South America), then passport tagging and finally item level tagging, such as clothing and books. Presenter Marks & Spencer confirmed that they have already used 100 million RFID tags on clothing—the biggest order placed by any retailer for RFID, and it’s not EPC.
