RFID applications are taken more seriously
by hospital managers as a way to reduce cost and increase
efficiencies. Understanding workflow is essential
for a successful RFID project
RFID asset tracking has shown positive
ROI at many sites
For electronic pedigree information for
pharmaceuticals, RFID technology may play an important
role
McCarran International Airport ( Las
Vegas ) has installed an Airport-wide RFID system, with
chips incorporated into each and every one of the bag
tags produced for all of the airlines

"The Role of the 100% Readable Tag in the RFID Marketplace"
Stan Drobac, Vice President, RFID Applications, Avery Dennison, USA
As the demand for RFID technology grows, so
does the speculation as to when and how this technology might
be successfully implemented. This session will explain how the
development of a high-performance RFID tag will fulfill the
promise of RFID Technology in Supply Chain Applications. We
will discuss the challenges that RFID media suppliers have
encountered, how they are being overcome, and what 100%
readability will mean to the future success of this market.

"Advances
in printable inorganic electronic materials"
Evaluating
the landscape ahead, now that the first wave of deployments
has commenced?
Looking at how early adopters, in the areas of finished
goods passive tagging, business operations active tagging,
and next generation payment systems and identity management,
are seeking business value from the introduction of RFID
systems into their operations
Assessing your operations with a view to achieving an
ROI in a compliance-centric environment
Seeking new business value through changes in operating
procedures, enabled by the introduction of RFID systems
With RFID smart
label technology being tested and evaluated in a number of
vertical and application markets at a growing rate, new and
exciting uses for the technology are emerging. Mr. Liard
will offer market size estimates for demand by vertical
market and application. And, the value proposition for RFID
in unique to each application/ installation environment,
with three main levels to RFID deployment. Mr. Liard will
explain each level and offer primary examples and market
trends to support them. The levels are as follows:
Level I: Object Visibility –
providing a ‘glass pipe’ view into an environment,
organization, or supply chain;
Level II: Object Security – the
safety and authenticity of an object, asset, or item as
well as the security of the data associated with the
tagged object, asset, or item;
Level III: Object Quality – the
condition or state of the object, asset, or item.
