Ensuring RFID's Bottom Line Payoff
Whether a business leapt at the opportunity to become one of the first suppliers with RFID tagged products or now finds itself currently being mandated to employ the technology, the implementation costs and the potential rewards are the same.
To maximize the benefits of RFID, it is critical to view its capability to drive business process improvement, increase supply chain efficiency and ultimately improve bottom line results. From this perspective, the up front capital costs for hardware, engineering consulting costs, opportunity costs, ongoing cost of tags and, in a manual environment, labor associated with the RFID tagging of products are deemed a necessary investment. |

Work-In-Progress Control With RFID
Vaillant Group is one of the world's leading manufacturers of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology.
The company, based in Remscheid, Germany, develops and manufactures products across a product portfolio ranging from efficient heating appliances based on customary fuels to system solutions for using regenerative energy sources.
At Vaillant Group's manufacturing plant in Belper, Derbyshire, UK, domestic & industrial boilers are manufactured for the UK and Netherlands. Managing work in progress is an important issue for Vaillant Group, helping them to control costs and ensure product quality. They chose an approach using UHF RFID and worked with CoreRFID to make their automated production management system a reality. |

Cost-Benefit Analysis of an RFID Asset Tracking System
This paper outlines the cost?benefit analysis of using UHF RFID technology in an asset?tracking application. To facilitate the analysis, RFID will be compared against the incumbent technology, bar?coding. An experiment comparing these two technologies was conducted, and the findings from this experiment are further analysed.This document aims to inform the reader of the potential labour savings unlocked through the implementation of RFID processes in an asset tracking business activity. The designed experiment tries to quantify definite time savings, which directly lead to significant labour cost savings. |

Datanet Asia Pacific - Curbside Recycling Bin Tracking
Historically, city councils in Australia pay their rubbish collection contractors according to the number of households in the area. The problem is not every household puts hteir bin out every week and councils are effectively paying the contractor for uncollected bins. So councils are mandating their rubbish contractors use RFID tags to record every bin emptied and charge the Council accordingly. |

RFID Technology Enabled Library Management System
RFID technology can fully automate various transactions happening within a Campus. Students, teachers and staff can be provided with RFID smart cards for their attendance and access to various labs and library. Library systems can also be automated by using RFID which can include issuing of books, security gates, searching of books, etc. Assets like computers, electronic equipment and mechanical tools which are constantly on the go for student experiments can be tracked to improve their usage by various departments. Hostel can also be better managed with access control system installed for students. |

RFID Readers Ensure Efficient Admission of Conference Attendees
Sun Microsystems has developed an efficient method for admitting conference attendees who have enrolled for conference sessions. Using Tracient Technologies' Explore-R HF RFID reader and the Nokia E61i phone, Sun's conference staff can scan attendees' badges while they are in line meaning they are moved much faster into seminar rooms than in previous years, ensuring less time in queues for attendees and everyone being seated on time for the sessions. |

Maximizing Waste Management Efficiency through the Use of RFID
Much attention has been given to our environment, the need to be more efficient and reduce the negative impact we have on it. Websites are dedicated to helping you measure your carbon footprint and provide tips to be more 'green'. For example, the Yahoo Green site notes each person produces roughly 4.5 lbs of waste a day. Though that seems like a macro example, what about the impact each household has on the environment with the amount of waste we throw into our trash cans or recycling bins? |

The Advantages of FRAM-Based Smart ICs for Next Generation Government Electronic IDs
Electronic versions of passports and other government-issued identification documents use an Integrated Circuit (IC) or chip to establish a digital link between the holder and personal biometric information, such as a digitized photo, fingerprint or iris image. Designed to enhance border, physical and IT security, electronic chips ensure that the person holding a passport or government document is the one to whom it was legitimately issued. This paper details the advantages of embedded FRAM memory for smart ICs in contrast to the traditional memory technologies used in many e-passport and government ID programs today. |

RFID Technology for Automatic Weighing and Identification of Railway
ArcelorMittal has implemented a fully automated weighing system to weigh and identify railway wagons and units using the RFID technology. The wagon weighing and identification system is thus fully automatic and unattended. The system is the result of the joint effort of Tamtron, manufacturer of railway weighing systems, and Barco, RFID and barcode integrator. |
