From smart watches and smart jewelry to Fitbits and Jawbones, wearable technology is becoming ubiquitous in today’s world. But wearables are evolving to become multi-functional. This means users need only one device to open their hotel room, start their car and unlock their front door. And to simplify things further, the next generation wearables might soon be embedded to your clothing or equipment. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/shift-on-the-wearable-horizon/

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is being used to track everything from border crossings, cattle, blood samples, beer, and other consumer products. The latest application for RFID is in casinos and bars, two environments that could substantially benefit from tracking technology to cut losses and prevent counterfeiting. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/place-your-bets-on-rfid/

In the competitive travel sector, sought-after business and luxury travelers are hard to please and even harder to impress.
