Main Findings:

•Is there a great potential to increase process

efficiency in Austrian production enterprises?

“Yes”

•Can RFID already fulfil the requested

requirements?

“The combination of insufficient technical

characteristics combined with a higher price leads

to restraints in the project realisation.“
