RFID Market Trends
RFID is identified as the next most disruptive technology. This session will present the market research studies on the key events from now to year 2015 - Early stages, Modest penetration by 2008-2010, Mass Adoption One trillion in 2015, and examine the Global Market for all forms of RFID.
The Impacts of RFID on Global Supply Chain and Logistic
In five to ten years, RFID will be as pervasive in business as the Internet is today. To get the full benefits of this powerful technology, companies will have to think strategically, and have a clear vision how to leverage on this disruptive technology for competitive advantage or sustaining growth and market share. This session will discuss how you can fundamentally reshape your supply chains and how you could envision what your operations would look like if you could identify every asset you own and every product you make, move or sell.
Business Value of RFID & ROI
RFID should be viewed as part of the corporate infrastructure, rather than just as a tool just to solve problem. You need to envision what the company might look like and what benefits it might get when that infrastructure is pervasive. This session will cover the business values of RFID and help you to identify potential areas of applications within your organization and your industry. We will go through 12 vertical industry applications as examples and examine the lessons learned from these early adaptors and how they have succeeded or failed in their trials and implementations. We will go through a checklist of standard RFID benefits and cost savings, and you will learn how to deploy the top down approach to calculate return on investment as well as the bottom-up approach to validate the relevancy of these projections to a specific business case.
RFID for Smart Packaging, Real-Time Asset Visibility, Safety and Security
Things that think and the communication with its environment critically depend on contact-less communication technologies combing functionalities of RFID with other sensor technologies. Relevant new technologies include polymer film electronics, micro-sensors, micro-batteries and ultra-small microchips. Imagine supply chains where products tell you if they are being shipped to the wrong place or warn the consumer from using them if they have expired. This session will discuss the possibility of deploying RFID and other Smart technologies for product innovation and brand enhancement.
RFID in Manufacturing
RFID technology will have a positive impact on the management of raw materials and reusable assets, warehouse inventory, shipments, returns processing, logistics, and many other aspects of manufacturing. It gives manufacturers a much greater degree of certainty about what goes into the supply chain than do today's systems. We will look at Case Studies for CPG & Pharmaceutical.
RFID in Retailing
RFID will Spark the Next Revolution in Retailing. In a few years, waiting at check-out lines may well be a history. Though this scenario is still far in the future, such tags could let the world's largest retailer add up the prices of purchased goods as shoppers leave the store and deduct the tab directly from their accounts. Suppliers can benefit from real-time inventory management that keeps goods on the shelf. Consumers may not immediately see a lot of major changes, but they would certainly benefit from better in-stock levels. With the help of RFID technology companies can use real-time data and improved data visibility and accuracy to transform their supply chains into adaptive business networks. We will look at case studies on major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Tesco UK, Marks, Office Depot.
RFID in Distribution, Health & other sectors
RFID technology can dramatically change the way warehouses and distribution centers are managed and operated, enabling increased efficiency and accuracy.
Experts envision a time when RFID tags and readers will be used throughout a warehouse, virtually eliminating the possibility of inventory errors and lost or misplaced goods. Productivity improvements in receiving and product check-in can range from 50 to 80 percent.
Practical Hands-on Session: RFID VS Bar code
