I have the same feeling. Whenever I heard the latest development of RFID technology, such as used as tattoo on herds, embedded into name badges and also the tag as small as a dust particle etc. I hope all these would not lead to any abuse of this technology. One of the good use of this technology is to use it for tracking your stock if you have a big or multiple stores. One of the largest European shoe companies, Reno GmbH, is working on embedding the RFID tags into shoes that will be sold at hundred stores in Europe. The system is to be provided and implemented by Checkpoint Systems Inc, which they’re gonna supply the RFID tags and the store tracking system.
The RFID tag is kind of wafer-thin, specially designed for shoes. The system allows the check-out clerks to quickly and easily deactivate tagged products. RFID technology has been used at Reno for tracking product shipments from its factory to the stores for several years. But this is the first time that they use this technology for tracking individual product at each store.
