AUTO-ID LABSImplementation Plan
The need, mandate compliance, ROI
Define your RFID implementation Compliance Reduce Inventory Stock Visibility Reduce Costs Increase asset utilisation Reduce shrinkage Reduce/eliminate shipping errors
4 August, 2004 Auto-ID Laboratory, ADELAIDE
AUTO-ID LABS
Investigate world standards ISO or EPC
Choose frequency of operation 13.56 HF or UHF
Extensive pilot or test plan
Develop assessment criteria for solution providers

AUTO-ID LABSReader Issues
Reader location is important, but local
Antenna Tunnel/Portal (multiple antennas) Circular Vs Linear
Host Interface, online Remote restart Alarm/alerts/Heartbeat Self diagnostic tests Upgrades

AUTO-ID LABSLocation Location Location
Tag location will be crucial for performance Want global use for product/tag life
Optimal location for RF Tag may not be the same as the location for a human readable tag/labelConsider composition of the object If lots of metal, then look for gaps! Metal surface can be used to extend the read range λ/4
Life time environmental exposure

AUTO-ID LABS
Consider a change to the process flow How package is handled, stored and pallet stacked
Change packaging to be RFID friendly
Test tag after application Metal, moisture, damage

Privacy Establish a privacy committee Consider all users, employees, contractors,
customers, vendors, supply chain personnel
Employees Explanation Efficiency, bottom line benefits Training

AUTO-ID LABSChampion
Approval from the TOPRealistic Expectations Start small but think big
Small enable fine adjustments (experiment) Big so as to leverage RFID throughout the business
Don’t oversell External/Internal expertise
Partner with both suppliers and customersPossible change to business processesOther infrastructure Sensors, EAS, anti-counterfeit, engineering
Periodic assessment
