RFID
Best Practices
Best
practices are evolving for RFID and the release of Gen 2 EPC
passive tags has improved RFID performance and raised the bar.
To understand this area better we have described best
practices related to troubleshooting poor read rates;
implementing successful X-Ray reads and installations. Physical,
environmental and host considerations are also examined in
detail for installation best practices. A pre-assessment and
post-assessment knowledge quiz is used to ensure knowledge
transfer.

RFID
Supply Chain
A major
sector for RFID adoption is the Supply Chain and the logistics
associated with movement of items from A to B.
This learning stream defines the Supply Chain, its
components and how they are related. The class defines value
from the perspective of the customer and describes how the
management of the supply chain delivers value to the
stakeholders. The importance of integration and the role that
RFID technology plays in integrating the components of the
supply chain are presented in this Supply Chain Management
class. This class includes a pre-assessment and
post-assessment knowledge quiz.

RFID
Return on Investment
ROI is the
single most important driver for adoption of RFID.
To understand the cash flows and the financial benefits
associated with this technology is vital in determining which
aspect of your application to RFID. This class focuses on
the important aspect of marrying technology with process
improvement in order to realize benefits. This class presents a
methodology referred to as the "TAG" process to evaluate
and choose candidate RFID pilot projects that maximize
return on investment or ROI. This class includes a
pre-assessment and post-assessment knowledge quiz.

RSI
ID Reader Knowledge
Readers or
Interrogators are important elements of the RFID infrastructure.
To understand their role in he RFID topology we present
the basic interrogator components, Input/Output devices,
networking, reader types, configuration of interrogator
zones, read zones, anti-collision protocols, dense interrogator
environment and multiple interrogator installations. A
pre-assessment and post-assessment knowledge quiz is given to
benchmark knowledge transfer for this important topic.

RFID
Testing and Troubleshooting
As RFID
infrastructures roll out in even greater numbers the challenge
to maintain and operate the technology with large mean time
between failures (MTBF) is vital.
This class focuses on troubleshooting techniques
used to isolate and repair RFID system issues. Specific
topics include troubleshooting techniques, RFID troubleshooting,
RFID read zone troubleshooting and read zone optimization.
This class includes a pre-assessment and post-assessment
knowledge quiz.

RFID
Standards and Regulations
An
appreciation of the governing standards is necessary to become
knowledgeable about the RFID ecosystem.
In this class we discusses standards bodies
applicable to RFID. The presentation focuses on RFID
standards bodies, RFID standards, RFID EPCglobal introduction,
EPCglobal architecture framework, EPCglobal tagging standards,
government regulations, human safety regulations and RoHS.
This class includes a pre-assessment and post-assessment
knowledge quiz.

RSI
ID Tag Knowledge
Tags are
the limiting element for the RF Physics.
If you can illuminate a passive tag with sufficient
energy it can be heard by the reader.
Therefore it is paramount to understand the weakest link
in the system. To
achieve this goal the Tag Knowledge class delves deep into
the inter-working of tags aka RFID transponders. To
ease the knowledge transfer
we include the comparison of tags versus bar codes.
Building on this basic knowledge are learning n streams
to cover tag anatomy, tag communication techniques, tag frequencies,
tag classifications, tag power sources, tag features,
tag placement and tag placement testing. Pre-assessment
and post-assessment knowledge quizzes conclude the learning
experience to ensure this vital aspect of the RSI ID product
line is essentially understood.

RFID
Design Selection
System
Design is a critical task since RFID is not a plug and play
technology. The
infrastructure optimization requires a thorough appreciation of
the criteria necessary to evaluate read distance, write
distance, tag response time and storage capacity across
different tag frequencies and types. Additional trade-offs
on frequency selection, tag selection, reader selection, antenna
selection, triggering devices and tag separation are discussed.
Upon completion the student has a comprehensive knowledge about
RFID systems. This class includes a pre-assessment and
post-assessment knowledge quiz.

RFID
Installation
The field
work necessary to install a proper RFID system is critical in
the achievement of acceptable read rates.
To illuminate the issues in this area the class presents step
by step instructions on to properly install a RFID system.
Although this is a very demanding sub matter we have presented
the important topics according to Pareto’s Law and therefore
cover installation procedures, assembly, reader operation,
antenna and cabling installation and post install
troubleshooting. This class includes a pre-assessment and
post-assessment knowledge quiz.

RFID
Site Analysis
A
successful site survey is a critical element in designing a
working solution that offers low cost and acceptable read rates
with sufficient resolution into the appropriate business
processes. The Site Analysis learning stream provides
information on how to analyze environmental conditions using
a six step site analysis process. Within this
framework we cover site analysis, RF interference analysis
and isolating interference. This class includes a
pre-assessment and post-assessment knowledge quiz.

RFID
Physics
The laws of
physics predict the ultimate performance and limitation of RFID.
To facilitate a working knowledge in this area, whilst
eliminating a heavy mathematical treatment this class presents a
clear explanation of the RF Physics concepts that are
necessary to understand the operation of RFID systems and their
limiting constraints. We cover RF Theory of Operation,
Electromagnetic Waves, Decibels, Path Loss Calculations and
Read/Write Range. This class includes a pre-assessment and
post-assessment knowledge quiz.

The
Printer is the key peripheral for commissioning tags into the
field. This class
covers these devices but also related RFID accessories.
Learn about RFID printers, ancillary devices,
automated label applicators, feedback systems and real time
location systems. This class includes a pre-assessment and
post-assessment knowledge quiz.
