However, many vendors only work with one type of RFID technology and try to convince managers it is right for all business problems. In this session we break down performance differences and trade-offs across a broad array of passive, active and related RFID technologies in terms that will make managers better evaluators of vendor claims. 11:30 am innOvaTiOn in rFiD We will discuss recent innovations in RFID. As managers you need to know what to expect today, tomorrow and next year. This session will dispel the myths of RFID performance and weakness and discuss how innovation can be used to successfully deploy RFID projects in existing business operations. 12:30 pm 1:00 pm lunch Break 2:00 pm The phySicS OF rFiD So how does physics affect RFID performance? What do I need to know when comparing different technologies and operating environments? This session conducts innovative research at the Texas RFID Center and will break down what is really important for managers to know. evaluaTing rFiD miDDleware Often referred to as “muddleware,” RFID middleware is an essential aspect of most RFID deployments. While there are many offerings in the market, buyer beware is the most common refrain from end users. Odin has deployed six different middleware packages and developed custom solutions for large and small scale RFID programs. This session will break down the market, vendors and features that you must consider when selecting your RFID software. It will also present an evaluation matrix that has been used successfully in dozens of RFID middleware selection processes. 2:45 pm rFiD prOjecT liFecycle Okay, you know about the technology and software, but how to you successfully execute an RFID project? How are RFID projects different from other technology initiatives? What approach can ensure quality while steering the business manager clear of common pitfalls? This session will walk through a proven, step-by-step process for managing the RFID project lifecycle. Managers can learn from their predecessors and benefit from the experience of their mistakes and triumphs. 3:15 pm TOOlS anD meThODOlOgieS ThaT enSure prOjecT SucceSS This session will walk through methodologies and tools designed to improve RFID equipment selection, installation and maintenance functions. While everyone cannot be an expert, professional tools now exist that enable greater RFID accuracy and ease of adoption. This is the practical knowledge that can help managers and even insiders ensure that the RFID program is successful from the planning through production. 4:00 pm Summary & wrap-up www.rFiD-wOrlD.cOm/2008 http://www.cmp-events.com/web/rfid/seminars http://www.rfid-world.com/2008
