Barriers to RFID implementation
Cost of RFID Tags
The cost of the tags is one of the most important constraints for the full implementation of this technology within supply chains (Chomka, 2003). The low cost of the tags will allow their application for single use or for low cost multiple uses where the durability of the tag is suitable. These tags contain data that can be read remotely and cost less than five cents (Harrop et al, 2003), therefore cheap enough to be disposable.
