| Editorial Review | "This is a timely and useful publication about an area of technology that is increasing in use in the fashion and textiles industry. RFID technology is being harnessed in order to improve quality, increase traceability and speed up the supply chain. New applications for the technology are constantly being found and developed. It is important for students of fashion and textiles and those who are already working in the industry to understand how the technology is being applied across all sectors from fibre production to retail. Written in accessible language it is a good introduction to the topic but also covers technical areas in depth for those who want a more detailed examination of its implementation." --Julia Gaimster, RMIT University - Vietnam |
