That's interesting, RFID would be much better for identifying products because you would not have to point a device at the product in question to identify it. Just get a reader in the general direztion of the of the product and we should be able to identify it. As I understand it, the range of RFID is quite large, something in the range of 30 feet. How do we determine a product when we have a number of products in one area, a covert full of cans and bottles, each presenting a signal that has a 30 foot radius?
