Sensing RFID Sensors in the Value Chain... Real-time business needs to predict, sense, and respond to market conditions. Making smarter decisions and reacting faster that the competition is a real source of advantage. Traditional RFID tag technology combined with RFID sensor technology can enable smart decision making further out in the value chain, closer to the material and its environment. Take the example of materials with a shelf-life. The manufacture date, the item's age, material movements, and environmental conditions can be tracked from creation to current state in a sensor-enabled RFID tag. The monitoring of environmental conditions is supported by the convergence of sensors and RFID technology. At any point in the supply chain, the object can communicate with the RFID information highway to report a richer and more complete status, and support decisions regarding its disposition in any next step in the value chain. RFID-enabled age events could be managed to support smart inventory management process models. RFID sensors could identify limit excursions or trigger cumulative alarms, which would create an event-based supply chain and drive a real-time competitive business response. We expect a significant increase in the amount of RFID and sensor convergence applications in the next few years, driven by the business atmosphere and the need for competitive levers in the value chain. |

Technology News: Personal Tech: RFID Brings Legislation in US Protest in Europe Privacy concerns over Radio Frequency Identification RFID technology are the basis of both proposed legislation in the United States and protest in Europe. The protests have been linked to German retailer Metro Group's plan to use the tracking technology for items in its supermarket stores. However despite reports of RFID tags turning up in U.S. Linux Insider, Mar 1, 2004 Jamming Tags Block RFID Scanners A security technology company introduces a device that can prevent radio-frequency tags from being tracked. It could protect the privacy of shoppers but it won't come out for a few years -- and it could be banned. By Kim Zetter. Wired Business, Mar 1, 2004 German revolt against RFID Metro Group has abandoned a trial of RFID radio tags after protests by digital rights activists. The German retail giant has tested RFID tags at its Extra Store in Rheinberg near Duisburg for nearly a year. The chips hidden underneath price tags for cream cheese shampoo and razor blades were read over the air using radio waves without physical contact and unnoticed by customers. The Register Net Security, Mar 1, 2004 Pharma RFIDs: Efforts Aim at Simplifying Complications March 1 2004 - News By Salvatore Salamone Bio-IT World online 03 01 04 The FDA is stepping up its efforts to get pharmaceutical companies to use radio frequency ID RFID technology to improve the safety of drugs throughout the supply chain. But pharmaceutical companies are quickly discovering that applying RFID technology to drugs is more complicated than using it on other retail products. Bio-IT World, Mar 1, 2004 Exel tests radio identification technology Logistics giant Exel is to test Radio Frequency Identification technology in monitoring extended supply chains from China to Europe. Simply described as a 8220 unique bar code that talks 8221 RFID uses radio waves to exchange information between a tag and a receiver-reader. The technology is being touted in the US as the answer to demands for improved security in global supply chains. Lloyd's List Logistics, Mar 1, 2004 UK: House Of Fraser To Participate In RFID Trial The year-long trial to begin in June will help the retailer to determine the potential cost benefits of using RFID to automate distribution centre dispatching inventory counting and store receiving. Initially the company's manufacturer in China will attach 60 000 reusable passive tags to high-value House of Fraser-branded women's wear products. Just-Style, Mar 1, 2004 Target Issues RFID Mandate to Suppliers All vendors will be expected to comply by the spring of 2007 according to a company spokeswoman. Industry analysts said they expect more retailers to issue RFID mandates in the coming months. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. started the trend last year asking its top 100 suppliers to begin tagging pallets and cases by the start of 2005 so it can better track goods through its supply chain QuickLink . Germany-based Metro Group and U.K.-based ComputerWorld Week in Print, Mar 1, 2004 PeopleSoft upgrades supply chain offerings adds RFID support Enterprise application software provider PeopleSoft announced products and product enhancements at the National Manufacturing Week trade show in Chicago last week. First its EnterpriseOne SRM supplier relationship management product now includes functionality to allow users to better align their inbound supply chain to real-time demand according to the company. Buyer Workspace is a portal that provides a view of key tasks enabling buyers to streamline the inbound supply chain and manage and prioritize multiple suppliers.
