Can RFID be beneficial for your organisation ?

Today, most of the focus is on how emerging Electronic Product Code (EPC) RFID tags can help connect trading partners and align supply chains. However, to see the immediate benefits RFID can provide, manufacturers should look inward at their operation’s own business processes, not just forward into supply chain customer’s compliance requirements. RFID provides a quick return on investment in many factory and warehousing industrial operations, without as much co-ordination and complexity as supply chain implementations require.

In many applications, the RFID tag serves as a key the system uses to unlock item information from a database. You need to look beyond the tag to understand how RFID will create value and provide a return on investment. Characteristics like frequency, size, standards support and cost provide a good basis to compare tags, but not to evaluate the total value of an RFID system. Value – and more significantly, investment ROI payback – depends on how successfully the entire system works together to provide operational improvements.

Tags are one component of RFID systems, which are themselves components of the enterprise information system. To evaluate how RFID can provide value to your organisation, its impact on legacy hardware, software and processes must be considered. There are numerous opportunities to profit by selectively using RFID in targeted applications that complement and leverage legacy operations. Cybernetics’ approach will provide value today while positioning you to gain future benefits from your supply chain or other extended applications.

Manufacturers, mechanics and service technicians know that no single tool is right for every job. RFID needs to be viewed in the same way. The RFID tag is only one component of a total system that may combine bar codes, mobile computers, wireless LANs, material handling systems and industrial controls to manage materials and assets more effectively. A “tag first” approach – i.e. looking at tag capabilities and trying to force fit them into operations – is not advisable. Instead, Cybernetics begins an RFID solution design from a business process perspective, identifying points in the process where data is classified, collected, communicated and acted upon.

Cybernetics has developed a five step approach for a successful implementation of an Automatic Identification and Data Capture application.
