Impinj, the US listed RFID chip producer, holds the top position, and not for the first time this year. RFID is not a new technology, but only recently has the cost of production reduced to the point where it can economically be applied to many different products, rather than only high value goods. Combine this with improved logistics software and scanning equipment, and suddenly it becomes economic for some of the largest retailers and logistics groups in the world to invest. Financial investors are beginning to see these benefits in the company’s financials and the shares have responded accordingly.
