RFID Myths & Misconceptions - All About RFID - Episode 9

 

RFID myths are everywhere – and if you’ve heard that RFID is too expensive, only for big companies, or “plug and play,” you’re not alone. In this episode of All About RFID, Kyle Stanford tackles six of the most common RFID misconceptions with real-world insights, a little healthy sarcasm, and a few more stories from the field. From the idea of a “perfect tag” to the assumption that RFID will magically fix broken processes, Kyle sets the record straight on what RFID can (and can’t) do. Common RFID myths we bust in this episode:

• Myth #1: There’s one perfect tag for everything
• Myth #2: RFID is either super cheap or wildly expensive
• Myth #3: It’s plug and play (spoiler: kind of, but not really)
• Myth #4: RFID is still a science project
• Myth #5: RFID will fix all your problems
• Myth #6: RFID is only for large enterprises

You’ll walk away with a better sense of how RFID works in the real world – and what to avoid if you’re planning your own deployment. Whether you’re a startup with a few handhelds or an enterprise eyeing 200 fixed readers, RFID isn’t magic … but when used right, it gets pretty close. Watch this episode to separate RFID myths from reality – and maybe catch a few of Kyle’s favorite “malaphors” along the way.
