Air Force use RFID to improve business process ranging from tracking hazardous material to receiving goods from suppliers.•Wal-Mart uses RFID for automatic inventory counting and locating goods in warehouse facilities. •Ford will equip Ford F-150, F-Series Super Duty pickups and E-Series vans with an embedded RFID asset tracking system .•Motorola embeds RFID tags in its handheld computers.RFID for Proof of Delivery•Zetes provides the ultra high frequency Gen2 ePOD system for facilitating electronic proof of delivery. •Combines smart card technology with RFID and bar code scanning.•Optimizes tracking and tracing•Reduces return claims and shrinkage.•Stores the information of what is delivered and where it is stored.•Requires no integration with existing systems and features software based on a touch screen interface.•Error-free traceability throughout the entire supply chain. •Provides proof of delivery. •Data and image used in verification reporting.RFID Provides Visibility•Integrating RFID data into video images to provide higher visibility of supply chan.•Users not only read the tag but view video images of the products in real time.•Video images provides information for recovering transport costs due to damages.•RFID and initPRO’s technologies give the location of the product and current condition at the moment of delivery.•Facilitates the claims for transport damages or losses.•The flow of goods is completely documented throughout the logistics centre.RFID for Inventory Inspection and Certification Solution•UPM & Marnlen, Inc supplies two new durable RFID options for both metal and non-metal applications.•The metal application utilizes special materials to preserve the RFID tags readability.•Provides an efficient & accurate way to conduct inspection and certification processes.•Eliminates the physical paperwork and human error associated with manual processes. •Designed to resists harsh as a high-volume of physical abuse, shock, UV radiation, temperature variability and moisture.•Serving numerous industries including construction and fire and rescue services.DAILY’S new Adhesive RFID on-metal Tag•DAILY RFID has launched a new passive RFID series for on-metal industrial applications, such as railway and warehousing.•The adhesive RFID tags are specifically designed to track products containing metal. •Can be easily affixed to any metal surface with its self-adhesive 3M Glue.•Each tag operates at 125 KHz or 13.56 MHz•The RFID small size metal tags can provide an impressive read range from 40 mm to 100 mm.CASE STUDY - DAILY’s DL910 for Parking Management •The DL910 is DAILY RFID’s new all-purpose ultra high frequency parking control system, designed for parking areas.•RFID technology in the parking control systems can:a. Automatically gather and send vehicle informationb. Increase parking efficiency and securityc. Reduce parking cost•The RFID parking control kit contains:a. RFID tags in both adhesive and clipping formatsb. The DL910 RFID readerc. Management software •The reader has a range up to 15 meters with multi-port interfaces•The DL910 authorizes cars moving in and out — keeping a log of entry and exit times•Offers hands-free access to gated parking areas•Allows manage vehicles more efficiently and safelyToday and Tomorrow of RFID•Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags will change the way industry tracks, traces, and manages assets. •RFID will have major impact on manufacturing, retail, distribution, transportation, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.• RFID will improve operations management, inventory control and production security.CASE STUDY - SENSEAWARENEXT GENERATION TECHNOLOGY SOLVING INDUSTIRES PROBLEMS THROUGH LOGISTICS AND TECHNOLOGYLimitations of RFID Technology•Item must be within range of sensor and with no interference (metal, liquid, walkie-talkies or nylon conveyors)•Sensors must be provided and located throughout supply chain•Only communicates data
