RFID 2.0 Proposals Announced

HP Japan and BEA Japan have proposed a new architecture for building business RFID applications, dubbed RFID 2.0. According to their definition edge systems that locally and independently use RFID for data input/output at distribution centers, etc. are RFID 1.0 while systems that allow for a company to integrate the data with existing business applications (and share the data with other companies) should be considered as “RFID 2.0.”

With everything going 2.0 these days it should come as no surprise that this rapidly developing area would get some strong consideration for next-generation functionality. The original source article [in Japanese] also mentiones that the companies propose “the system should be based on EPCglobal standards to combine software products and services”.  Via: RFID Japan
