RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) can be used in many applications, from asset management and inventory control, to identification verification. In Asia, counterfeiters have a new arch enemy to contend with, RFID. The Malaysian government has started using RFID to battle counterfeiters, to protect a resource in their agricultural industry.
Counterfeiters in Asia are synonymous with creating and selling illegal products, as an original. This has been an ongoing problem for years and financial loss to businesses, companies, and governments. RFID technology is being tapped to combat the illegal activity of the counterfeiting trade.

RFID tags can then be encoded with additional information, in another section of the chip by the company using RFID readers to write to the tag. The RFID tags store valuable information for manufactures and distributors such as Lot numbers, manufacturing dates or quality control ID, and so on.
In Malaysia, the agricultural industry is testing, and will introduce an RFID solution as a deterrent to counterfeiters, to protect one of their valuable natural resources, the bird’s nest saliva.
The bird’s nest saliva is an ingredient for a soup made in China, which is considered a delicacy. The Malaysian government reports it is a 1.5 billion dollar (USD) industry, which in recent years has been plagued by counterfeiters in Asia. You can read more about this unique application and solution, as reported by the BBC here.
RFID tags can store information that can also be encrypted and or password protected, depending on the application. Contact us at The RFID Tag Store for more details on the many applications, where RFID can be used as an asset, in more ways than one.
Passive RFID tags are available in many forms for different applications, from hard tags and labels, to metal mount tags, available in UHF (Ultra High Frequency), HF (High Frequency) and LF (Low Frequency).

I known about RFID from a brief presentation, no doubt and fully supported this technology know-how by my personal opinion, it very helpful manufactured products in the factory.
ReplyDeleteI learn swiftlet farming as well, from birdhouse, birdnest trading, birdnest cleaning processing, birdnest packing, how to export to Hong Kong and China.
Hear said RFID look like compulsory to be implement for birdhouse till every piece of birdnest for tracking and identification, i don't see it really benefits or profitable or help our local swiftlet farming industry development in the future.
Thank you for your comment, very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIn this unique case with the birds nest exporting, RFID adds value to this application in the form of valid identification, which in turn protects the company, and the industry from counterfeiters.
The ROI on RFID for this application would be mostly on protecting the loss of business.
With each shipment having a mandatory RFID tag or label, distributors and processors, will know if the product does not have an official RFID coded tag, then indeed it is not an official product from the manufacturer.
I think I will become a great follower.Just want to say your article is striking. The clarity in your post is simply striking and i can take for granted you are an expert on this subject.
