Where Are The Deals…….Retailers Not just the big apparel names Smaller retailers & specialty stores see same benefits & are getting engaged Example: Pawn shop with over 300 stores - need 1-2 printers per store Different set of decision-makers
Where Are The Deals……Retail Suppliers Currently: jeans, basics, intimates, tires Next: footwear & boxed electronics - TV, DVD, cameras, etc.) Picture courtesy Checkpoint Systems
Apparel RFID Tagging Example Apparel manufacturer encoding 1 MM tags/wk, 50M tags/yr 8 Printers, 200k tags/day, 5 days/wk On-pitch encoding reduces media costs by $750,000/yr A single printer encoding 25k labels/day will consume $500k of RFID media per year! Printer pays for itself in 2 weeks from media saving Throughput as high as 100+ tags per minute
Where are the Deals? Manufacturing Healthcare Relatively simple applications to gain visibility Healthcare More and more applications for specimen tracking are popping up
