China’s first National RFID Industrial Zone
China's first National RFID Industrial Zone opened in the Zhangjiang area of Shanghai. Manufacturing lots of tags, using tags at shopping malls, and of course food traceability:
In the future, the entire pork processing system in Shanghai--from the birth of pigs to the pork sales at the market--will be monitored by the tags so consumers can monitor the quality of their purchased products.
