Wristwatch reads/writes of RFID Tags

Welcat Inc., a maker of bar code and other wireless devices, has begun marketing a reader/writer for RFID tags that a user can wear on the wrist just like a watch, reports Nikkei.net.

"The WIT-150-T can read information on an RFID tag or enter data into one when the user brings it close to the tag, significantly improving the efficiency of warehouses, for example.

The firm expects the device to be especially useful in manufacturing plants, warehouses and distribution centers, as well as for handling labor management work."

By using a mobile phone compatible with the Bluetooth wireless communications standard, data read by the device can be sent to a personal computer or server at a remote location."
