Research Firm unveils ‘RFID Database’ to track IC Shipments

RFID system. Check. Technical know-how. Check. Implementation strategy. Check.

Managing data? Not so much.

Here’s an idea: ABI Research just announced the launch of a new database as part of its RFID Research Service. The RFID Tag IC Market Sizing Database provides aggregated shipment data reported by leading RFID IC manufacturers worldwide. The database, which is updated quarterly and may be searched by subscribers to the Service, segments these shipments by quarter, by frequency, and by standard.

Or, as Erik Michielsen, Director of ABI Research’s RFID and M2M research practice, puts it: “It provides a fundamental understanding of where the market stands today, and gives us a better understanding of supply and demand dynamics as we forecast the market over the next three to five years.”
