Supercharging Products with Embedded RFID

The power of RFID as a stand-alone application to increase accuracy and efficiency in supply chain management has garnered much attention in recent years. The story now is how RFID can be added as a feature to an almost unending list of products -- adding new functionality, increasing reliability and enhancing the user experience. They may still look the same on the outside, but embedding RFID readers and software into existing and yet-to-be released products can transform them on the inside offering manufacturers, OEMs and product designers new opportunities for competitive advantage through increased efficiency, accuracy and product differentiation. What you'll learn:

• Differences between RFID and existing barcode and contact technologies. 
• How embedded RFID expands beyond early Wal Mart and DoD supply chain implementations for new applications in: 
  • Disposable authentication
  • Smart-shelf & smart-cabinets
  • Secure contactless payments
  • Asset tracking
  • Inventory restocking and controls
  • User-specific machine configuration
• Unique technical and business considerations for embedded RFID
• Various ways real-world companies are presently using RFID in their products to drive revenue and differentiation.
