Introduction to RFID

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been getting more and more press lately. Sometimes it sounds that other technologies, especially bar codes will disappear overnight. Not so fast! As usual, there is some “media hype.”

This session will help non-technical executives, managers and IT professionals to understand the realities of these two closely related technologies. The session explains the functional similarities and differences, the strengths and limitations and the things you should know about if you are (or will be) considering the deployment of RFID technology.

The presentation will:

Explain how the technologies work
Identify some of their strengths and limitations
List the points of consideration

Students who complete class will be able to:

Discuss system requirements and supply chain needs
Cut through “technology hype” to understand the true benefits of using the technology
Begin to prepare themselves and their companies for the possible use of RFID
