RFID technology simply gets rid of all the paper works people used to have to do. For instance, before RFID technology is introduced to the real application, people used to have to fill out paper work within the book back cover while borrowing books from libraries. And, in order to keep track of the past record of a certain book, the same paper work just has to be used over and over again even if it turns yellow and the words on the paper work is just not readable. How do you think auto manufactures can make so many new autos per year? Yes, the RFID technology also can be spotted in the auto assembly line. As long as every pieces of auto components thoroughly identified by RFID tags and the central controller has all the specific tasks defined on all kind of circumstances for each RFID tags, the only parts of assembly line have to be controlled by car producers are just the parts that deal with the artistic point of views such as how the cars want to be painted.
