Reducing out-of-stocks is an example of the portal`s usefulness with RFID.

Just because bar codes are used extensively in distribution centers does not mean RFID will be. Businesses are beginning to discover value in places where they cannot use bar coding, which will be the force that moves RFID forward.

There are a number of retailers that are pushing their suppliers to expand the use of RFID. Additionally, the military`s use of active RFID tags on containers continues to expand. There are hundreds of other pilot projects taking place, too.

For the most part, bar codes are better at collecting data in highly structured and engineered processes, such as warehouses, and this will likely continue for the next five to seven years. However, RFID tags will be used for data collection of mobile assets and in largely chaotic or unstructured business processes, ranging from retail environments to hospitals, enabling these environments that lack sophisticated process engineering or controls to be systematically managed.

You can`t read a bar code well if another bag is sitting on top of the tag, for example, but this is a matter of process. If it`s just a case of tweaking the (bar code-based) system that way, then it`s not worthwhile to install RFID.

There is a significant focus on using RFID in pharmaceutical manufacturing because of the FDA`s interest in using RFID tags to help combat diverting and counterfeiting.

Our Rapid Start program was created because end-user customers realize the benefits of RFID in mission-critical applications such as in supply chains, and want access to the full power of these systems, available only by using Intermec`s patented inventions,

We`re pleased with the outcome of the program. It was our objective from day one to have multiple suppliers of RFID technology licensed under Intermec. Customers want choices, and there are multiple suppliers. Gen 2 products are going to start coming to market, and customers would have started asking their suppliers if their products were licensed by Intermec, so we wanted to clear that up. It would not be fair for us to hold our technology captive.
