The value of RFID in government extends beyond inventory management and the distribution of supplies and assets. In addition to providing greater visibility into the supply chain, RFID enables the collection of virtual real-time operational, constituent services and mission data. This information?combined with accurate location awareness and rapid track and trace capabilities?helps government agencies improve decision making so they can respond with speed and agility to events affecting the services they provide. In the U.S.:
- The Department of Defense uses RFID to gain greater control over the complex and distributed supply chain to support global military missions.
- The FDA has recommended that the pharmaceutical industry move to implementing RFID tagging throughout the supply chain for controlled substances to combat counterfeit drug trafficking.
- The Department of Agriculture is exploring the use of RFID to support an animal ID program to track animals and animal products throughout America.
