New Trends in RFID

Some active RFID tags include sensors such as temperature logging to monitor the temperature of perishable goods. Other sensors that have been married with active RFID include humidity, shock/vibration, light, radiation, temperature, and atmospherics like ethylene.

Non-silicon tags made from polymer semiconductors are currently being developed by several companies (PolyIC Germany, Philips Semiconductors Netherlands). If successfully commercialized, polymer tags will be roll-printable, like a magazine, and much less expensive than silicon-based tags.
