TOPIC: "Clearing the Confusion in RFID and Real Applications"
SPEAKER: Mike Nichols, Manager of RFID Systems Consulting, Intermec
Technologies Corp.
Intermec Technologies Corp. is perhaps best known as the inventor of the
world's most widely used bar code symbology. Intermec today provides supply
chain information products, services and systems to companies in hundreds of
industries around the world. Mike Nichols has been working in the automatic
identification and data capture industry since 1976 and in radio frequency
technologies since 1973. Much of his career has been spent translating
technical information for non-technical audiences and helping companies
utilize technology to fill business needs.
With billions of dollars invested in business assets, for both internal use
and inventory for sale, the opportunity for financial loss has never been
greater. Asset misplacement, inventory shrinkage and inventory loss cost
businesses millions of dollars each year. RFID technologies enable
businesses to manage and control their assets to such an extent that on-time
delivery of the right product to the right place at the right time and
reduction of asset losses exceeds the cost of the technology and improved
customer relations.
Mike Nichols will clarify the confusion about what's real and what's not in
the emerging world of RFID. He will identify the real opportunities to use
RFID in a broad range of industries, and he'll discuss specific applications
that he has been involved in developing for Intermec customers. This is a
great opportunity to talk with an expert in RFID about your concerns and
your interests.
