Good book -- some dated information, but the physics behind RFID hasn't changed. Although I'm interested specifically in library applications, it's good to read about others.
I'm actually NOT a "dummy" when it comes to RFID - it's a bit part of my job and I've been through multiple in-depth trainings about it and sold this technology many times over, implementing and managing RFID projects with many different use cases.
This book was given (or loaned and I never returned it? eek) to me when I started at my previous job that got me into the automation industry, which was in... 2010. It was all brand-new to me then. I was cleaning out my closet and found I still had this. It's outdated now, but it's also so basic that none of the info in it has really changed. I re-read this to see if it was worth keeping as a reference and while the information is still accurate and useful, I just don't need this at all, so it's going on my giveaway pile.
But, because I am a little particular about recording what I read to reach my Goodreads annual goal - I'm including this!! I did read it, after all!
Nice book for the beginners starting their first steps in implementation of RFID technology, highlights the main point, that RFID makes it possible to streamline and automate the process of managing product turnover about real cases in my practice here
