Abstract

RFID has the potential to enable machines to identify objects, understand their status, and communicate and take action if necessary, to create "real time awareness." Wireless sensor technologies allow objects to provide information about their environment and context, smart technologies allow everyday objects to "think and interact,"; nanotechnology and energy-scavenging technologies are packing more processing power into less space. All these developments will create an "Internet of Things" (IoT) that connects and enables intelligent interaction between objects around the world. This paper will review current RFID technology and usage issues then discuss the necessary development required for RFID technology to enable the IoT.
