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. |

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. |

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. |

Document tracking with PJM
PJM StackTag technology allows for reliable document tracking. It is unique in its capability to communicate with hundreds of tightly stacked tags that have virtually no separation, like RFID tags on single page documents. With the PJM anti-collision protocol it is possible to manage more than 16,000 tagged pages or files per reader at identification speeds of 700 tags per second. Magellan offers a wide range of specific PJM StackTag labels and dedicated reader products to track thousand of documents through office and archive environments. |

Pharmaceutical item level tagging
PJM technology meets all performance and robustness requirements for the healthcare industry today. It is unique in its capability to identify closely stacked RFID tags even with close proximity to metals, glass or liquids and its anti-collision method allows for identification of large quantities of moving items at rates beyond 600 items per second. PJM offers the reliable issuing of products on high speed conveyors, writing unique 128 bit identification numbers to individual items, at speeds of more than 3000 items per minute. Security features like unique chip IDs etc. offer a wide portfolio of functions to protect against counterfeiting. |

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. |

Tracking Reusable Metal Shipping Containers Using Passive RFID
Our evaluation focused on tracking large steel shipping containers and their contents as part of a parts distribution system. This study looks at two main problem areas; tracking the containers throughout their lifetime using a permanent durable hard-tag, and using a standard print, encode and apply RFID label as a shipping label. |

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. |

RFID Tag Data Security Infrastructure: A Common Ground Approach for Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Safety
This paper proposes requirements for Item-Level Tagging deployment and lays the foundation for a Tag Data Security Infrastructure (TDSI) for these initiatives. It defines the key deliverables and outlines the requirements of this "common ground" approach. |
