About Us
BackgroundRFID Institute SA is Africa’s leading vendor-neutral RFID centre, providing education and expert professional services to all organisations intending to implement, or simply learn more about RFID. With our extensive expertise and partner alliances with leading RFID product vendors, we represent the RFID industry by advising the end-user on the most appropriate RFID solution to suit their requirements.
There are several versions of RFID that operate at different radio frequencies. The choice of frequency is dependent on the business requirements and read environment. It is not a technology of “one size fits all” and proceeding from a business strategy to full-scale deployment of RFID is a complex activity.
Our main focus is to ensure that RFID deployments are performed correctly and thus minimise the risks involved, as well as to provide training in RFID education and certification.
The RFID Institute SA consists of a specialised team of experts with extensive experience in process engineering,
- RFID design and implementation.
- Fields of RFID technology specialisation
- Each of the Institute’s consultants are industry leaders in the fields of mining, heavy industry, manufacturing, logistics, apparel, pharmaceuticals, medical products and transport.
