DataSpan implemented a RFID system for NASA to help them more efficiently manage their inventory with the reduction of their support staff.  It says that this will improve their inventory time by 30% and allow them to still remain efficient even with fewer employees.  NASA is very happy with the results which exceeded even their lofty expectations.

 

1.  Do you believe more companies with attempt to implement RFID systems to help with their inventory? Why or why not?

2.  Do you believe that the success of the RFID system for NASA will make other companies think about reducing their support staffs as well?

3.  Are you comfortable with NASA using an RFID system with all of their classified and top secret information and inventory? Does the system increase the possibility of a breach?
