| Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automated data-capture technology that can be used to identify, track, and store electronic information contained on a tag that is attached to an object such as a box, pallet, or even directly to product. One of the more well-known uses for RFID is E-ZPass. E-ZPass is a part of an automated toll system that allows drivers to proceed through a toll without coming to a complete stop. RFID has the potential to increase productivity across supply chain, reduce costs, and differentiate businesses as well as make a company more attractive to potential customers. Plausibly, resistance to new technology can inhibit the adoption of RFID. In terms of this project, RFID is defined as a company making a decision to incorporate RFID into its processes and RFID functionality making the processes better in some way and becoming a standard part of the process. The company has "adopted" the use of RFID. The research strategy selected for this project was qualitative methods, with the use of in-depth interviews as the data collection technique.;The results of this project indicate that job performance, system failure/system limitations, trust, operations improvement, accuracy improvement, ease, difficulty to manage, technical issues, lack of maturity, simplicity, familiarity, and controllability are factors in the adoption of RFID technology. |
