UK & EU SMEs poised to profit from RFID technology - UKITA selected as UK delivery partner
The European Commission wants to boost the adoption of new technologies by small and medium-sized companies.
A new project promises to measure the return on investment in RFID for SME's - RFID-ROI-SME Project (www.rfid-roi-sme.eu)
A new EU-funded project, which started in April 2010 and runs for two years, will help European SMEs in understanding and fully leveraging the potential benefits of RFID technology. RFID systems allows automated real time data collection without physical or line of sight contact, using radio frequency identification of tags.
Managed by the UEAPME (the European craft and SME employers’ organisation) the “RFID-ROI-SME” project will deploy and co-ordinate eight pilots targeting multiple sectors across six European countries, including the UK through UKITA – The UK I.T Association (www.ukita.co.uk).
The main goal of the project is to boost the adoption of RFID technology by SME communities, while at the same time creating business opportunities for innovative RFID solution providers within the EU. The aim is to demonstrate tangible benefits of RFID technology across many different sectors and business cases. These benefits will then be disseminated to wider SME communities in the form of case studies, best practices and blueprints.
