So people say Bluetooth is dead. There's still lots of people using Bluetooth and Bluetooth fits nicely with specific applications that require low power and low range. UPS is using Bluetooth for scanning parcels. You might ask the question, why not use RFID? According to Robert Nonneman, a manager of industrial engineering at UPS, says the company has watched RFID for 15 years but doesn't see it as an imminent solution to the problem of parcel tracking. In test runs, he says, RFID tags did not surpass the accuracy rate of bar code scanners. And an RFID rollout--including tags and a new technological infrastructure--would be costly. "You can't simply replace optical scanners with an RFID reader and expect an improved return on investment," he says. "There have to be process changes to leverage the technology."
Well it looks like Brown has become Blue, hehe, get it?
