AIDC 100: RFID and Bar-Code Co-existence Lessons Learned From AIDC Technology Adoption Radio frequency identification is part of a broader category of technologies that fall under the category "automatic identification and data capture" (AIDC). Because other AIDC technologies, including bar codes, have been so successful, AIDC professionals have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding the pitfalls of implementing systems, the course standards that development takes, how to leverage a new technology with legacy systems, and how to take advantage of emerging opportunities to improve the synergy within and across business functions, based on a variety of automatic- identification technology solutions. This uniquely interactive seminar is offered to augment the other technically focused vertical-market preconference sessions, so that end users can send a team member to learn how to take a strategic approach to RFID technology adoption and integration with bar codes. Brought to you by AIDC 100, an organization of professionals who have significantly contributed to the industry's growth and advancement, this workshop will provide you with insights into how you can avoid problems and save implementation costs by understanding the parallels of RFID, by way of lessons learned through the adoption of bar codes, as well as where bar codes and RFID can best co-exist Association Sponsor

11:30 AM Overview of Auto-ID Technologies Speaker: Paul Bergé; President Paul Bergé International; AIDC 100 Member AGENDA 12:30 PM Mobile Commerce This session will provide an overview of the current trends in mobile commerce, as well as a case study about the QR Code implementation unveiled this year by a major retailer. Speaker: Paula Giovannetti; Program Manager, Global Merchandising and Operations, Best Buy; AIDC 100 Member 1:45 PM Learning From History: Understanding the Harmony of Multiple AIDC Technologies Gain a perspective into how developers overcame key industry implementation issues to provide practical solutions for end users, and how they relate to current AIDC deployments. Understand the challenges faced, and how multiple AIDC technologies were integrated to provide the best business solution. Speakers: H. Sprague Ackley; Technologist, Intermec Technologies; AIDC 100 Member Patrick F. King; Global Electronics Strategist, Michelin; AIDC 100 Member 12:00 PM Breaking Down 2D Bar Codes The use of 2D bar codes is one of the fastest-growing areas of the automatic identification and data-capture (AIDC) field. Data Matrix underpins the global supply chain initiative for several vertical markets. QR Code is becoming ubiquitous as the consumer-facing symbology, linking prospects and vendors to promotional Web sites using the camera on a smartphone—and there are countless other applications as well. This session will provide an overview of the 2D bar-code landscape. Speaker: George Wright IV; VP Product Identification & Processing Systems; AIDC 100 Member

2:15 PM Demystifying RFID and Automatic Identification Technologies RFID is still viewed by many as mystifying and complicated, putting it outside the grasp of some companies that would otherwise benefit from its use. This session will explain the true simplicity of AIDC for supply chain applications—and how understanding this simplicity unlocks the ability to see the many ways in which the technology provides benefits, while facilitating the selection of the best solutions for a given job. Learn how to transition from one AIDC technology to another, and how newly deployed technologies can co-exist. Speaker: John Hill; VP TranSystems ESYNC; AIDC 100 Member AGENDA (cont’d) 3:45 PM Mapping Your Future and Taking Advantage of AIDC Technology It took 20 years for bar codes to become ubiquitous. As someone who helped drive adoption by implementing new AIDC applications, the speaker will discuss adoption models for RFID technology and disruptive technology for business-process transformation. By attending, you will receive a roadmap enabling you to know what to expect and when to invest, and to understand evolutionary milestones to watch for, in order to ensure that you adopt at the right pace for your business. Speaker: Chris Hook; Executive VP Business Development, RF Controls; AIDC 100 Member 3:15 PM Crossing the Chasm Toward RFID and Bar-Code Co-existence This session will help you gain an understanding of the industry's current status, and where it's heading. Learn how RFID and bar-code technologies and applications co-exist to augment business processes. Speaker: H. Sprague Ackley; Technologist, Intermec Technologies; AIDC 100 Member
