This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis. Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers. All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately. A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
The RFID in Manufacturing Market Research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. The research is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.
RFID Integrated with AI and Advanced Analytics Drives Data-Driven Manufacturing
According to ARC Advisory Group research on the industrial RFID marketplace, rising demand for data-driven manufacturing, real-time inventory visibility, and the need for connectivity and transparency across manufacturing and supply chains, continue to drive RFID adoption in manufacturing. RFID technology is increasingly converging with artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics to unlock new levels of operational intelligence. As Industry 4.0 adoption accelerates, the synergy between RFID and AI is becoming a key driver for smart factories, offering competitive advantages through automation, cost reduction, and enhanced decision making.
RFID in Manufacturing Strategic Issues

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the RFID in Manufacturing Market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Use Existing Standards
Use existing and accepted standards to lower long-run maintenance costs. Also, be aware of industry initiatives and semantic standards. Several industry associations are working to develop and harmonize semantic standards for RFID technology.
Implementation and Lifecycle Costs
Lifecycle costs are critical for the adoption of RFID technology. Tag prices are more critical than reader prices as well as the cost of setting up the infrastructure because of the large volume of tags used. It is important to decide which type of tag, i.e., active or passive, to use for your application. The overall lifecycle cost is the main differentiator between active and passive tags. Other lifecycle costs include software maintenance (especially ERP integration) costs.
Utilize Cloud Integration
Skipping the control layer with RFID is possible using either dedicated UHF readers or small box PCs. This means that you can directly create the transparency in the cloud. While PLCs have the capability to process data and control separate CPU cores, this is not the case for legacy products. The advent of 5G wireless technology will simplify cloud integration.
Scalability
The ability to scale up is important. More data and more transparency typically trigger additional ideas of what can be done. It is also important to test the RFID application in the actual environment before large-scale deployment.
