Regardless of whether manufacturers and privacy rights groups ever find common ground on limiting RFID capabilities, the demand for RFID products increases every year. To stay competitive in the marketplace, more label manufacturers are offering RFID tag manufacturing and/or affixing as an available service. In order for manufacturers to keep up with RFID technology, Frederick advised, “Read as many articles as [you] can. One very inexpensive way [to stay informed] is to participate in as many Webinars as you can.” As for the future of RFID-related products, the director of sales predicted “global acceptance in the next decade.” No matter where one stands on the privacy rights of the public, RFID tags, tickets and labels are a far-off, sci-fi omen no longer.
