RFID Implementation

This is the only book available to offer in-depth, practical details for implementing an RFID project from start to finish. From Wal-Mart and beyond, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is in use everywhere--enabling superior supply-chain management by tracking inventory via microchip-tagged products. RFID Implementation delivers step-by-step instructions for initiating, installing, and managing an RFID rollout.

WalMart directed that its top 100 suppliers use RFID tagging by Jan 1, 2005. Passive RFID tags are now required on pallets and cases, identified with an EPCglobal symbol. Since Wal-Mart first announced their RFID policy, other companies, including Target, Albertsons, Best Buy Co, Circuit City and Kroger have either officially announced plans or are in the process of doing so.

RFID has attracted the attention of the most sophisticated companies in the technology sector. IBM, Accenture, Sun, HP, Microsoft, and Intel have all announced major investments in RFID products and services. Oracle and SAP have RFID initiatives. And companies like Symbol and Intermec, RFID industry leaders, are seeing substantial growth. Many large consumer goods  companies are conducting pilots, and several have begun large-scale  deployments. 

Any professional tasked with initiating and managing an RFID project will  need this important implementation resource. This includes wireless  professionals, and manufacturing and supply chain managers
