[Air-l] Second annual RFID Seminar Series will convene at Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business (fwd)

[Ellis Godard]

Absolutely.

For an interesting application, I just read about a poker chip manufacturer
embedding RFID in the internal metal disc that gives composite chips their
near-clay weight. The tags would allow the dealer, casino, audience, etc. to
instantly see each bet, the pot, current stakes, house rake, etc. Put in
real money, they could allow a well-equipped child, hot dog vendor, or pan
handler to *know* you have an extra dollar in your wallet.

> The theme of this seminar series is the use of RFID (radio frequency
> identification) in supply chains.  Sessions will address the 
> massive interest in this old technology, which is changing 
> the landscape of integrated supply chains.  The use of RFID 
> ranges from asset tracking to cashless payment to homeland 
> security, and more.  RFID technology is as an emerging 
> technology with great potential to take significant costs out 
> of the supply chain dynamics; speakers at the event will 
> discuss RFID strategies and implementation used to accomplish this.
