RFID Journal has announced the finalists for its 2015 RFID Journal Awards. The winners will be revealed at this year's LIVE! event in San Diego, California on 15-17 April.
 
"The scope and complexity of the deployments in this year’s submissions were beyond anything we've seen in the past, which indicates that RFID has matured to the point that some companies are using it on a large scale and in core parts of their operation," said Mark Roberti, RFID Journal's founder and editor. "We're excited to have the finalists come and speak so attendees can hear these case studies, and view the hardware, software and solutions featured in our Best New Product category."
 
End-user companies were nominated in five categories. In the Best RFID Implementation category DIRECTV; Interstate Batteries; and Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust were nominated, while Clarisonic, Kuehne+Nagel and RSH Energy were nominated in the Best Use of RFID to Enhance a Product or Service category.
 
Age Steel, the NASA Marshall Space Flight Centre and TriggerSmart were nominated for the Most Innovative Use of RFID, Detroit Diesel, Ambiente Brasil and Sabesp received nominations for the RFID Green Award, and in the Best NFC Deployment category, the finalists are  Free the Children, Skoubee and SM Prime Holdings.
 
This year, RFID Journal introduced a new award for the Best IoT Deployment, recognising companies that are taking advantage of Internet of Things technologies to create business value or deliver value to customers. The judges also selected ten technology providers that were nominated for the Best New Product exhibited at this year's LIVE! event.

In addition, RFID Journal’s editors will present the 2015 RFID Special Achievement Award to Carlo Nizam, the head of Airbus' Value Chain Visibility and Auto-ID Program, for his outstanding leadership in helping Airbus to improve efficiencies by digitalizing business processes within its operations and across its value chain, and for promoting the importance of RFID within the aerospace industry.
