Finding and Counting "Things"

As the good-humoured Irish farmer said to his helper, "Bring the two cows out of the barn so I can count them".

Finding and counting "things" is a necessary part of running almost every kind of business organization. Millions of computers and countless numbers of people are employed across the world to find and to count the things that are bought, stocked and sold by their organizations.

While computers count things quickly, sometimes things can't be found so easily. This may cause their owners to think they have somehow vanished and are therefore unavailable for sale.

What if there was a better way to find things, and count them, too?

There is. It's called Radio Frequency Identification or RFID for short, and it's making some organizations more efficient.

We all decide things by asking questions and evaluating the answers. To help you decide if RFID could be good for your organization, I invite you to talk to our community of RFID experts from Canada and the United States. Ask them (through us) any question you like about RFID. It's free to ask and there's no obligation to buy anything at any stage. We identify you to the experts by your first name only; you can introduce yourself to them if and when you attend our annual conferences (as event organizers, our only job is to coordinate these discussions and meetings among people who are interested in RFID).

To learn about better ways to find and count things, start by asking us a question about RFID. You can read the answers to questions others have asked, or check out the agenda and register to attend our RFID Solutions conferences, at www.softmatch.com
