Have you guys seen the new IBM commercial where the semi-truck is driving down the deserted desert highway and they stop for the lady in the middle of the road sitting behind a desk?
She's saying the RFID tags told the help desk the truck was lost and going the wrong way. Now from what little I understood about RFID, and I'm pretty tech-savvy, the range wasn't that great. But there must be something here as it is matching the inventory of the shipment and the GPS locator (been doing that for a long time) of the trailer.
Anybody know more about this? I thought the RFID required rather close excitement by the scanning device. Hmmmm.....
