Technology Wireless transfer of data using electromagnetic fields http://www.rigzone.com/news/oil_gas/a/113906/COTEMAR_Tracks_Offshore_Workers_with_RFID_Tags Technology Wireless transfer of data using electromagnetic fields RFID tags consist of an antenna & circuit which carries product info RFID reader interrogates tag, which responds with data about item Serial #, stock #, lot/batch #, production date Read/write or read only Real-time Asset Life Cycle tracking Personnel (safety) Goods (creation, shipping, sales) Billing & operational efficiency Accurate, automatic and convenient No line-of-sight issues compared to optical bar codes http://www.coresonant.com/html/rfid-tags-for-solar-module-india.html

RFID Types Passive (All Frequencies) Active (UHF) Receives signal from reader Powers on & reflect signal back to reader Cheaper & smaller Active (UHF) Transmitter & power source Send signal or transmit data Transponder & Beacon https://www.ups-scs.com/solutions/white_papers/wp_RFID.pdf TIME Short read range Slower read rate Better for on/near metal/liquid Longer read range Faster data transfer Sensitive to radio wave interference due to metal/liquid AMPLITUDE http://www.impinj.com/resources/about-rfid/the-different-types-of-rfid-systems/

RFID Manufacturing Application Supply Chain Applications How does your topic/technology add value to the organization? Encoding retail items Tracking throughout distribution Inventory Management Security RFID can be installed and garmets can be encoded beginning with manufacturing. This allows the garments to be tracked all of the way throughout the distribution process.  Once in store, the stores can use the RFID technology to track inventory and determine stock levels. RFID can actually aid in security if installed correctly during the manufacturing process. Some retailers began using RFID early on and reported that it interfered with their security sensors.  So supply chain logistics and efficiency efforts had to be revisited and at the manufacturing point. In addition to the expensive nature of the technology, the question that is often asked is "Where was the best placement for the RFID chip so that it does not cause interference with security measures?" Zara and JCPenneys shared their experiences.  JCPenneys just decided to remove the anti-theft sensors in an attempt to solve the problem, but shopping surged as a result and the compnay scrapped the RFID project. Zara, on the other hand, decided to insert the RFID chip inside the security tag

Distribution RFIDs Add Value Reduce Handling Cost Increase Inventory Accuracy Increase Real time Tracking It is estimated that Wal-Mart saves $8.35 Billion by using RFIDs (labor costs due to less manual process for incoming goods) Sanacorp Increased Market Share by 3%

Distribution Issues and Solutions Limitations and Issues Costs are still a little high Too many types of RFIDs in the supply chain Privacy for the end consumer How to Overcome Current Issues Technology is brining down cost Consolidation will eventually happen just like it did for the barcode system
