3. Technology Wireless transfer of data using electromagnetic fields
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

4. 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
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

5. 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

10. 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%

11. 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

12. RFID for Retail Applications More Accurate Inventory
