Environment and Waste
The importance of taking responsibility for our environment has never been as important as it is today. RFID technology is assisting municipalities and regions worldwide take ownership of how our waste is managed, of how our green space is preserved and protected. Tracking the movement of collected waste, what kind it is, how much there is, how often and from where is how RFID is being utilized to collect this critical data. Maintaining our forests, urban trees, municipal parks, river beds is how RFID is playing a role in the future sustainability of a co-existence between man and the environment.
Community and Services
A community can thrive if its infrastructure of services is well maintained for the overall good of the community. Municipal public library systems provide a learning resource facility for the local community to use. To be able to find, borrow, and return a library item and repeat this cycle seamlessly regardless of where an item is within the system provides the community with a continuous learning experience. RFID technology is helping libraries maintain and track their items as they are being used.
Wellness and Healthcare
Hospitals are also part of the overall infrastructure of services within a community. Maintaining and sustaining its stock replenishment and its overall supply chain system in real time is crucial. Being able to identify, track, and monitor a patient’s treatment during his or her stay in the hospital is also crucial. RFID technology is being used in these areas to ensure efficiency, minimize errors, and make the patient’s experience a less stressful one.
Nature and Agriculture
There is a co-relation between nature and the environment. Agriculture, which encompasses the farming and fishing communities is part of the natural landscape and as such, these ecosystems must continue to thrive and be healthy. To ensure this, RFID technology is being used to identify different species, i.e., cattle, pork, chicken, sheep, fish, and crops. The health of these living organisms is tracked by having an RFID transponder embedded into them to ensure they stay healthy – individually, as a species, as well as a continuous source for the food chain.
Safety and Security
In today’s world, ensuring that people stay safe is an area of concern for most. This has allowed technology to play a greater role in achieving this goal. RFID is now being used by different industries and communities to ensure accidents, fatal and otherwise are drastically reduced, if not eliminated. People wearing an RFID bracelet who come in dangerous proximity to heavy equipment have a better chance of not being in harm’s way.
Security is another area of concern for public and private sectors and can be challenging at times. This requires a combination of the identification of a person and/or an item. RFID technology in devices such as gates is providing security in access control situations. Another key area of security concern is the safeguarding of one’s identification. As with access control, RFID technology is being used to ensure that personal identification is not stolen or compromised but protected.
