Printed Electronics and Thin Printed Batteries: Powering a World of Product Innovation
Despite current economic constraints, many prominent industry analysts are bullish on the future potential and growth of printed electronics. IDTechEx forecasts the market for printed electronics at over USD $35 billion by 2018. Similarly optimistic forecasts have been made for thin printed batteries, a subset of printed electronics. NanoMarkets has predicted the market for thin film and printed batteries will exceed USD $5 billion by 2015. This paper takes a closer look at thin printed carbon-zinc battery technology - its capabilities, potential markets and applications, as well as the advantages of these printed batteries over traditional coin or button power cells. |

The Case for Real Time Location Systems
Real Time Location Systems are gaining acceptance as an adjunct and alternative to Active RFID systems. While Active RFID systems have been around for more than a decade, these systems have not really taken off because of their proprietary nature and high infrastructure costs. This paper has sought to describe the characteristics and advantages of deploying Wi-Fi based RTLS. Many factors must be taken into consideration when selecting a location tracking technology and vendor. |

RCD's ASID approach to RFID tags
RCD's adoption of a strap-attach method for inlay assembly has the obvious advantage of opening up antenna design process window. The strap-attach modality feeds into the ability to maintain a common manufacturing process across products. Strap-attach also gives the less obvious advantage of a scalable process that will survive through future generations of IC's that will get progressively smaller with each succeeding generation. |

RFID Case study: Cephalon
Cephalon, Inc. is an international biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and marketing of innovative products in four core therapeutic areas: central nervous system, pain, oncology and addiction. Cephalon began evaluating RFID technology in 2004. The initial phase of the pilot program, which captured the movements of placebo product and prototype packaging in a distribution center, was completed in December 2005. Phase 2 of the pilot program, completed in July 2006, consisted of shipping tagged product to an RFID-enabled wholesaler. Cephalon is currently implementing phase 3 of the pilot program which tests RFID-tagged cases and pallets in a manufacturing environment. |

Beyond the Tag-Finding RFID Value in Manufacturing & Distribution Applications
Today, most of the focus is on how emerging EPC RFID tags can help connect trading partners and align supply chains. However, to see the immediate bene.ts RFID can provide, manufacturers should look inward at their operation's own business process- es, not forward into just supply chain customer's compliance requirements. |
