Radio Frequency technology (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. RFID is a commonly used technology, in almost everything. Starting from credit cards and finishing with our food. Yes, food boxes also use RFID chips for tracking purposes in supply chain. Even if the product itself doesn’t have an RFID at some point of its life, when the product was in supply chain on its way to the costumers it had an RFID chip. We learn in this course about Disney’s 1 billion dollar investment in RFID technology. Disney decided to bring RFID watches for their customers at Disney World. With these watches customer can have access to all facilities and manage on what he wants to spend his time and money. Disney also from their end can monitor and control customer traffic for better customer experience and gather data for future business analytics.

Hello Levan,
I think RFID is widely used as you mentioned. For example, while working for Delta Airlines few yours ago, we started using new equipment that scans bags while loading and offloading. We did not have to scan each bag individually, like we used to, instead, this machine scans bags as soon as it enters the cargo section. it was amazing and made our job much faster.
Levan,
You did a great job at explaining RFID. I didn’t really grasp it when we were first reading about it but your post definitely did help. I like how you applied real-life situations to your post! Well done!
Hi Levan. Your posts gave some good insight on RFID. I love going to the Disney Parks and have a couple of Magic Bands. So it was really interesting to learn how the Magic Bands actually work and what technology was used to create it. Thank you for your post!
Excellent job in clarifying RFID! Although I had difficulty comprehending it initially while reading about it, your post certainly assisted me. Your use of real-world examples in the post was noteworthy! Great work!
