Guiding Principles of RFID

Organizations must adhere to three guiding principles as they navigate RFID implementation and deployment – from compliance to value.

From our perspective, organizations must adhere to these guiding principles as they navigate RFID implementation and deployment – from compliance to value:

1. A holistic multi-disciplinary approach helps identify RFID value. Companies that want to look beyond RFID compliance for a financial return are looking in the right direction, particularly around asset tracking, inventory control, and security within their own four walls. Interestingly, these companies are too focused on RFID physics and cost within a single function, and they often do not find ROI. A holistic, multi-disciplinary approach that integrates IT, supply chain, manufacturing, and finance will enable companies like yours to deliver tangible results.

2. Real-time exception-based management with RFID can be positively disruptive. RFID data is typically captured in real-time, and this may require changes or augmentation to existing software applications that can accommodate the event-driven nature of RFID using a service-oriented architecture. Scaleable enterprise solutions will allow you to manage business processes by real-time exceptions associated with pre-determined business rules, so that you can focus on your business with a positive impact to your bottom-line.

3. Systems integrators should support the RFID solution they deliver. An end-to end “Plan, Build and Manage” approach to support RFID solutions is critical. Through such an approach, your systems integrator can help you focus on your business -- and not on the technology. These comprehensive services are designed to sustain your investment and should include:

– RFID help desk support to ensure that solutions continue to function properly even after deployment
– RFID technology refresh, upgrades and troubleshooting
– RFID application maintenance
