According to Trolley Scan, the estimated market demand for RFID transponders per annum is 100 million million (1014) per annum. This is needed over a wide range of scenarios, from labelling goods in a supermarket trolley to labelling files/library books in an office situation to labelling cars and people for access control. However, the bottleneck in the future that is going to limit satisfying this market is going to be a lack of production facilities.
Trolley Scan says that, typically, it can assist companies to set up production lines for the Trolleyponder range of UHF RFID in volumes of 100 million transponders per annum. This is achieved using subcontractors to supply the high technology ICs, and lower technology for the assembly of the transponders. A production line capable of achieving this capacity would be assembling transponders at seven units per second, no mean feat. Compared to the existing supply chains of RFID technology, this is a major stream. However, the market capacity mentioned above is 1 million times the output of such a production line.
Besides developing leading edge UHF RFID systems, from the point of view of features, operating power, and dynamic range of the digital readers, Trolley Scan has contributed to the future of low-cost RFID by reducing the technical barriers to become an RFID producer, allowing any small investor group to use the services of sub-contractors to become a major supplier of leading edge transponders and readers. It says that this approach increases the number of players in the supply chain, allows market-driven companies who know their customers' needs to provide leading-edge technology from a reliable supply, and allows companies situated all over the world to address their markets without having to compete for limited supplies in a world that wants to switch to the new technology.
