RFID World Conference Catalog 2008 - (Page 10) 10 inDuSTry Track prOgram Transportation Track RFID World 2008 will focus on six specific Industry Tracks that use RFID technology for a multitude of business solutions, including increasing safety, reducing costs, and automating processes — just to name a few of the business solutions track-and-trace technology provides. Transportation cHAIR: RIck cRAWFORD, nyk LOgIsTIcs Lost luggage, broken seals on shipping containers and misdirected shipments are risks that transportation experts must confront daily. As a result, managers often find themselves merely managing the odds of getting shirts, shoes, cereal and other items to the right store or warehouse on time. This track details the latest track-and-trace technologies. Hear firsthand experiences on how to bridge the Chinese firewall to create a Web-enabled tracking system, and get answers on dealing with regulatory environments between China and Europe. Whether you’re in shipping via plane, train or truck, this is a must attend track. In this series of presentations, attendees will explore the big issues that any organization requires to put into motion to further the security of their global supply chain. While RFID and convergent technologies (GPS, sensors, E-seals) are at the core of the technical solution, what is the required foremost is to determine the best strategy to utilize this technology, thereby transforming the supply chain security equation from a net cost to a net benefit.
