Abstract

Although the development of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been amazing, it is still in its infancy worldwide. RFID still has to overcome several obstacles such as privacy and security, cost and standardisation. The industry in China offers a great arena for research in this field, as it is one of the most significant manufacturing players in the world and has begun devoting resources to local RFID technology development. This paper's goal is to analyse the development and implementation of RFID in China. To achieve this goal, 18 interviews were conducted within five Chinese participant groups: researchers, logistics experts, RFID technology manufacturers, manufacturers' representatives and government establishment officers. The authors can state that the development and implementation status of RFID in the Chinese industry is behind that of developed countries, but is becoming more prominent in closed-loop applications despite the lack of local standards, low security and high costs.
