AGENDA TRACKS
EXECUTIVE STRATEGY
Senior executives at companies in every industry are faced with
a challenge: how to deploy RFID in a way that reduces costs,
improves efficiencies and helps them today, while also
enabling them to meet long-term goals. In this track, some
early adopters will share their secrets for creating a well-thought-out strategy
and executing it effectively.
Taking Advantage of Efficiency Opportunities By
Deploying RFID in the Data Center
RFID enables organizations to track laptops and other assets with
check-in and checkout verification and authorization. It also has
big advantages over bar codes when inventorying IT assets. This
session explains how RFID can speed the decommissioning
process, and provide audit trails for such high-risk assets as hard
drives. What’s more, learn how third-party suppliers that host or
manage data centers utilize RFID vendors for media destruction.
SPEAKER: Mike Russo, Senior VP, Wells Fargo
McKesson’s RFID Strategy for the Future
McKesson has been at the forefront of RFID activity in health care
since 2004. The company originally viewed RFID as a means of
achieving regulatory compliance, but now seeks ways to improve the efficiency and accuracy of its high-volume distribution
operations by leveraging serialization and GS1 standards. Hear
about the opportunities RFID presents to organizations, and the
challenges executives face when presenting this innovative concept to management for funding.
SPEAKER: Ron Bone, Senior VP, Distribution Support, McKesson
Managing Risk in RFID Projects
The application of emerging technologies within an organization
always carries considerable risks, These are compounded in RFID
projects because users are faced with risks associated with
choosing the right type of RFID and with ensuring the right data
can be collected and integrated with existing systems. This session will discuss what the risks of an RFID project are, and how an
organization can minimize them and increase the probability of
success for RFID projects.
SPEAKER: Pankaj Sood, Founder and Manager, McMaster RFID Applications Lab
Building a Business Case for RFID, From the Basement
to the C-Suite
An investment in RFID has the potential to save money, minimize
waste and improve employee efficiency in any organization. This
presentation will discuss one hospital's experience in developing
a business case with a positive return on investment to fund and
implement RFID. Learn how different stakeholders were brought
into the project to ensure success.
SPEAKER: Terri Simpson-Tucker, RN, MSN, Assistant Administrator of
Support Services, Kaiser Foundation Hospital, San Jose Medical Center
Investing in RFID
The Dayton RFID Convergence Center (DRCC) provides business
acceleration and intelligence to entrepreneurs and early-stage
companies in the RFID, sensor, data-management and mining
technology industries. In this session, hear how the DRCC is part
of a regional effort to grow the emerging RFID sector in southwestern Ohio. A panel of experts with real-world experience will
discuss how the center is accelerating the formation and growth
of early-stage RFID technology ventures.
SPEAKER: Bradley C. Proctor, Executive Director, Dayton RFID Convergence Center
EPC FOR VISIBILITY
EPC standards for RFID hardware, software and networking are
being adopted by numerous retail and consumer packaged
goods companies, as well as by businesses in other industries
that want to monitor goods in open supply chains. This track explains the various standards and how to implement and use them to drive real
business value.
EPC in the Retail Supply Chain—Where We Are Today
As the retail/CPG industry moves toward the ultimate goal of
complete supply chain visibility, organizations are already realizing successes from tracking their products with EPC RFID. The
ability to simply see one’s product and ensure it’s on the shelf, as
well as more accurately manage inventory, has led to more efficient ordering processes, labor cost reductions and increased
sales. Industry leaders will discuss the successes they have seen
in the retail supply chain, as well as the challenges they face.
MODERATOR: Bill Hardgrave, Director, RFID Research Center, University of Arkansas
Getting Ready for Visibility
Industry mandates and government traceability initiatives for
safer food, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, customs and other areas
are driving the need for visible supply chains through EPC RFID.
How do you prepare to meet these inevitable requirements while
delivering additional value for your own organization? This session will walk you through an adoption roadmap, outlining how
your organization can best prepare to incorporate EPC RFID
technology from both technical and operational perspectives.
SPEAKER: Sue Hutchinson, Director of Product Management, EPCglobal US
Why RFID Alone Does Not Equal Visibility
RFID, by itself, does not provide visibility. To achieve that, a company must be able to uniquely identify, track and share data
about the movement and location of goods, and have the information understood by everyone along the supply chain. EPC
provides a standardized common language that is accepted and
understood across industries and around the globe. Learn how
EPC standards deliver greater visibility of information that leads
to more informed decision-making.
SPEAKER: Grant Hunter, VP, Product and Solutions, EPC RFID, EPCglobal US
The Value of Visibility
There is a great deal of talk about achieving supply chain visibility—that is, the ability to see the location of your products (and
know their state) as they move from point to point in near-real
time. Being able to see the location of your products and assets is
great, but how does that translate to business value? The focus of
this session is on how visibility into the location of your inventory,
assets, vehicles—as well as your processes and workflow—can
improve your business’ bottom line.
SPEAKER: Bob Celeste, Director of Healthcare, GS1 US
Using EPCIS Data Sharing for Full Supply Chain Visibility
EPC Information Services (EPCIS) is a set of networking and datasharing standards that offer companies the ability to share information not just about serial numbers read from RFID tags, but
also the context of those reads. In this session, learn how EPCIS
data can be utilized to help realize benefits from RFID in the supply chain for a wide range of industries. Hear how EPCIS goes beyond just identifying and tracking assets, and turns that visibility
into action.
SPEAKER: Ken Traub Ph.D., Consultant, Standards Strategy, GS1 EPCglobal US
