Constructing a RFID implementation in Microsoft Dynamics NAV using Microsoft BizTalk RFID
The RFID (radio frequency identification) technology has created global appeal and is expected to significantly transform the way any enterprise runs its business. The availability of real-time information provides many possibilities, and the number of areas where RFID could add value is continuously increasing. The potential returns from RFID look attractive; however, there are several aspects that could hinder its adoption. Current tag costs and reader costs are some of the concerns. Another significant concern is the lack of user-friendly systems that can help create and deploy RFID applications in a variety of business scenarios. The issue is aggravated even more by the compatibility challenge, given the ever-increasing number of software and hardware components that are constantly entering the market.
