October 23rd, 2006
ABI Research: Asset Management for Automotive, Defense, Healthcare, and Transportation Vertical Markets Closed loop applications, including asset management and work in process tracking, have been part of the overall RFID market for more than five years. Recently active RFID vendors have faced some new competition from Wi-Fi-based location system providers. The asset management market has also received greater media attention and general interest over the past year. This study focuses on the market for active, rather than passive, tag systems. ABI Research analyzes the impact Wi-Fi vendors will have on the market, and explains the differences between active RFID and Wi-Fi systems. Both applications and vertical markets are discussed in this study. Quantitative market analysis is also provided: shipments are broken down by frequency and technology; revenues are also reported for tags, readers, software, and services.
