The first issue of the AIDCourier was published May 15, 2002. This page provides a link to the current and back issues of the newsletter. There is a search engine below if you need to find specific items.

The newsletter covers the months news on AIDC technologies like RFID, Barcode, Biometrics, and ID technologies. There are also sections on how these technologies are being used in various industries. there is also a section on RFID Standards. The goal of the newsletter is to provide a summary of the news on the technologies with particular focus on RFID. Suggestions for change are always accepted. There are many other newsletters that cover RFID and barcode news in particular, but we believe this newsletter gives the best summary of events that have happened in the past 30 days.
