The RFID Journal Awards Are Given Annually to End User Companies That Distinguish Themselves

The RFID Journal Awards are given annually to end user companies that distinguish themselves through the application of RFID technologies. The goal of these awards is to recognize the leaders in creating and deploying RFID solutions and to foster adoption of RFID technologies by highlighting innovative deployments. In 2008, we created a new award, Best in Show, to recognize the best new product shown at RFID Journal LIVE!
