So, I (for one) would be interested in just what Biff has asked but am not altogether surprised by the lack of reply as I suspect it is still a technology that has not yet found it's day. We know, in theory, the potential benefits of RFID but has any one actually done it? If so, what uses has it been put to and what outcomes were achieved?

If you check aeroscouts web page there are case studies, the big question is how much equipment and which type do you tag, non-static equipment should be tagged if you are going to use the system, but do you use a minimum value before you tag, questions and more questions. Do you tag for location purposes or theft?

I know RAH in Scotland have successfully implemented an RFID system... But thats the only one i know of in the UK. Jason Britton from Leeds teaching hospital done a talk a few months back.
I recently went and met up with with the guys from EME at Great Ormand Street to look at there fantastic Harland Simon RFID system and F2 Data Base and at this stage can only see if as a total benefit across all departments.

We are about half way through a roll out of a trust wide Ekahau system, and have to say that its proving useful already. Lots of projects on the horizon with it to take forward. :O)
