UTSA DEMONSTRATES RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGY AT MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING WORKSHOP
Clipped to the Drawing Board by Susan Decker  
San Antonio - The University of Texas at San Antonio's Center for Advanced Manufacturing & Lean Systems (CAMLS), housed in the College of Engineering, recently partnered with the San Antonio Manufacturers Association and held a one-day Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Workshop.

RFID is an automatic identification technology that stores and remotely retrieves data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.   RFID tags are objects that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves.

The move towards RFID technology continues to rise in both the retail and manufacturing sectors.  In 2005, Wal-Mart mandated that all its top suppliers have RFID tags on pallets carrying products delivered to all Wal-Mart Distribution Warehouses. Now more manufacturers are implementing RFID systems into their distribution systems.
