Overview:
The power of RFID as a stand-alone application to increase accuracy and efficiency in supply chain management has garnered much attention in recent years.
The story now is how RFID can be added as a feature to an almost unending list of products -- adding new functionality, increasing reliability and enhancing the user experience.
They may still look the same on the outside, but embedding RFID readers and software into existing and yet-to-be released products can transform them on the inside offering manufacturers, OEMS and product designers new opportunities for competitive advantage through increased efficiency, accuracy and product differentiation.
What you'll learn:
- Differences between RFID and existing barcode and contact technologies.
- How embedded RFID expands beyond early Wal Mart and DoD supply chain implementations for new applications in:
- Medical disposable authentication
- Smart-shelf & smart-cabinets
- Secure contactless payments
- Asset tracking
- Inventory restocking and controls
- User-specific machine configuration
- Unique technical and business considerations for embedded RFID
- Various ways real-world companies are presently using RFID in their products to drive revenue and differentiation
