RFID Technology

What is RFID ?

• Radio Frequency Identification

• A micro-chip in a label used to transmit data when the label is exposed to radio waves

Technology that enables functioning.

• The RFID Information Server is a Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE ) application that serves as an interface for capture and query of EPC-related dataThe

• J2EE container hosts the RFID Information Server and RFID Management Console.

RFID BasicsWhat are the main components ?

• RFID Tags

• RFID Reader – Antena and transceiver(reader)

• Host Computer

• Major players: IBM, Texas Instruments

Integrated chip

RFID BasicsHow it works ?

Decades of RFIDDecade Event

1940 - 1950 Radar refined and used, major World War IIdevelopment effort. RFID invented in 1948.

1950 - 1960 Early explorations of RFID technology, laboratoryexperiments.

1960 - 1970 Development of the theory of RFID. Start of applications field trials.

1970 - 1980 Explosion of RFID development. Tests of RFID accelerate. Very early adopter implementations of RFID.

1980 - 1990 Commercial applications of RFID enter mainstream.

1990 – 2006 Emergence of standards. RFID widely deployed. RFID becomes a part of everyday life.

WILL IT BE ABLE TO REPLACE BARCODE ?

• RFID is part of a range of technologies and services that can be jointly referred to as automatic identification and data capture (AIDC)

Reader

• Decrease in lost stock

• Faster locating stock

• Lower labour requirement

• Reduction of out-of-stock

• Low safety stock level

• Facilitation of JIT

RFID in Retail Supply Chain

Benefits at a glance

Benefits for Retailers

5 – 8 % improvement in shelf stock rate

5 – 10 % lower inventory levels

3 – 4 % lower logistic costs

2 – 10 % higher sales due to lower out of stocks

Benefits for Manufacturers

5 – 30 % lower inventory levels

2 – 13 % lower warehouse and transportation costs

10 – 50 % reduction in lead-time (facilitates JIT)

1 – 5 % higher sales due to lower out of stocks

Effect on consumers

In the future all items will be tagged

Food shopping example:

• RFID enabled shopping carts

• Fewer empty shelves

• No queues

• RFID fridge of the future

• Personal shopping cart (as in Germany)

Effect on consumers

RFID will be used for tracking

• Border crossing

• Pay as you go car insurance

• Baggage tracking at airports

• Child tracking – Verichip

Effect on consumers

Other RFID uses with implants

• 67 hospitals using RFID human implant

• Night club admission

Effect on consumers

Retailers dream, libertarians nightmare

“How would you like it if, for instance, one day you realized your underwear was reporting on your whereabouts?” California State Senator, 2003.

Effect on Management decisions

What will be the effect on management decisions?

Opportunities

• TimeBeing able to respond more quickly

Taking quicker decisions

• FeedbackMinimize human factor

• SavingsStreamlining orgs

Long term savings

Implications• Will require faster responses!

Competition on new terms

• Cost ---- it’s a costly affairAdapt existing systems and buying new ones

SoftwareHardware

Train people

• System failureWhat to do?

• Personal IntegrityEthical? Customers & PersonnelLaws: labeling of goods carrying chips

Effects on different levels of Management

•General effectsTraining, faster decision making

•Middle ManagementMore Technicians required
