Highlights from a new study on Automotive RFID from ABI Research
Did you know that RFID was first used in the auto industry twenty years ago? It has made much progress from those days. RFID is now a common sight inside the vehicle itself as well as being present at different key points in the whole process from manufacturing to distribution.
According to a study done by ABI Research on the State of RFID in Automotive Industries, RFID is most used in vehicle entry and security systems. Fore example, RFID is in all those immobilizers that disable a vehicle unless its RFID reader detects the correct tag in the driver's ignition key. ABI Research says that around 40% of new cars produced in North America contain such immobilizers.
However, ABI Research also says that the greatest growth potential for automotive RFID lies in automating the manufacturing process – especially in streamlining assembly lines.
