What are the alternatives for RFID technology?

RFID systems are widely used in various industrial scenarios, such as international trade, logistics, healthcare and many others. It helps to monitor assets, ensure safety of goods and equipment, and coordinate staff workflow. Despite its high efficiency, recently many RFID alternatives have appeared which sometimes are even better in terms objects localization. What are these alternatives? What advantages do they have?

The main benefit of RFID was ever the price,overall in long inventory. We can Buy 1000 tags for the same price of 10 BLE dont have comparison. But now with paper tags all the game changed. About the hardware too its possible get a IOT gateway for less than $100 instead a rain RFID device over $1000. In business terms depending on the type of business it’s easier deploy BLE solutions. But what if deploy a hybrid solution? why not merge a RFID devices and BLE in the same platform? Could Navigine integrate RFID devices?

Hi Cesar!

Yes, RFID’s main advantage is its price, but unfortunately this type of technology doesn’t suit some of use location-powered scenarios.

Navigine don’t primarily focus on working with RFID devices, but we can provide a custom integration for a project if the implementation of such a system is deemed feasible.
