IoT: Empowering A New Era of Asset Management
RFID will play a key role in how Internet of Things (IoT) technology shapes enterprises approach asset management in the future.
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its rapid expansion, the technology will drive the next evolution of enterprise asset management (EAM) systems. According to Gartner, the IoT market will grow to more than 20 billion connected objects/things by 2020, and the market was already expected to be worth $2 trillion. Business IoT spending represented 57 percent of overall IoT spending last year.

Unveiled: Gateway to Digital Transformation
RFID bridges the gap between physical and digital worlds to create unprecedented efficiencies and competitive advantages.
“Digital Transformation” is the latest tech-related buzzword to take hold in the press and in boardrooms around the world. The term means different things in different markets; but in general the idea of digital transformation revolves around breaking down barriers between the digital and physical worlds. In some cases, that may mean transforming paper-based information into digital data; creating digital avatars of physical machines or equipment in order to better monitor or control them; creating a more interactive online environment for customers; or linking more physical objects to the network.
