BREAK |
| 10:45-11:15 am Track 1 |
Michelin Case Study Speaker: Dr. Patrick F. King, Global Electronics Strategist The emergence of Gen 2/ISO 18000-6c has greatly reduced commercial barriers for RFID implementation. Michelin will identify the impact this progress is having on the tire industry. In addition, there are challenges and barriers remaining on the global RFID landscape. Michelin will provide an update on those challenges and issues. Finally, practical aspects for implementation will be discussed. |
| 11:15-11:45 am Track 2 |
McCarran Airport Case Study Speaker: David Bourgon, Airline Systems Manager This case study is a discussion of the practical and economic impacts of being the world's first airport to use RFID for 100% bag tracking. RFID is growing in importance in the aviation industry, and RFID brings significant gains on other technologies, such as bar codes and other optical scanning systems. McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) has installed an airport-wide RFID system, with chips incorporated into each and every one of the bag tags produced for all of the airlines. The presentation will include a return on investment analysis, what they learned and what they are doing next. |
| 11:30 am -12:30 pm |
NETWORKING LUNCH with sponsor displays |
| 12:30-1:00 pm |
Networking with Morning Case Studies Spend some time with fellow end users to gain insights into other uses of RFID technologies in your enterprise. |
| 1:00-1:30 pm Track 1 |
NYK Logistics Case Study Speaker: Rick Crawford, General Manager When you're responsible for moving freight for Target, you better be “on target” with your operations to keep up with one of the highest-volume, demanding distribution channels in the world. The Minneapolis-based retailer, which generates annual revenue greater than $10 billion, uses NYK Logistics as one of its leading logistics service providers. Mr. Crawford, General Manager for NYK Logistics, will speak about "before" and "after" scenarios of deploying wireless real-time location data and yard management software and how it has enabled NYK to save time and money, while increasing customer satisfaction. Mr. Crawford will specifically address the associated ROI and reveal best practices to help educate attendees about how to leverage ADC technologies to make their enterprises as efficient as possible. |
| 1:00-1:30 pm Track 2 |
Nancy Foods Case Study Speaker: Dave Siegfried, IS Manager RFID or Radio Frequency Identification has quickly become a widely debated topic in today’s technology business commerce discussions. RFID promises significant impact to all business areas on cost, technology direction, and delivering business value. David has recently lead Nancy’s Specialty Foods through a complex RFID technology implementation which Dave will cover for our members in summary. David will be discussing the real ROI behind implementing RFID, what infrastructure is required for deployment, and what components of RFID technology are a reality if implemented in today’s market. |
| 1:30-2:00 pm Track 1 |
Mitsui USA Case Study Speaker: Yoshibumi Kotsuka, Director, Transportation and Logistics Mitsui USA is proving the commercial benefits the SaviTrak™ information network brings to major consumer goods suppliers in meeting and exceeding Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) compliance mandates while improving security, logistics data accuracy, visibility, and the operating metrics of containers and their contents. An innovative aspect of the project is “source tagging” of cases with EPC-compliant passive labels at the manufacturing facility, and tagging the containers into which they're stuffed with active RFID tags. Shipments originating at a factory in Guangdong , China , are trucked to and placed on vessels leaving the Port of Yantian . Then, they're shipped over the ocean to the Port of Long Beach, Calif., and finally transported to a distribution center in Calif ornia . |
| 1:30-2:00 pm Track 2 |
West Pharmaceutical Case Study Speaker: Eugene Polini, Customer Technical Support Representative As a response to a customer need to track and trace unlabelled injectable medicines, West Pharmaceutical found a way to couple RFID tags and its packaging system. Since solving that problem, they've found many new applications for this technology, in particular for use in anti-counterfeiting measures. |
| 2:00-2:30 pm Track 1 |
SRA International Case Study Speaker: Dan Kimball, Principal SRA International is the support contractor to the DOD Logistics AIT Office and in that capacity works with the military services and DLA to implement AIT technologies in support of warfighters. The DOD utilizes the largest active RFID network in the world tracking thousands of shipments per month. In addition, the DOD has been a leading implementer of the EPC passive RFID technology, integrating passive RFID throughout the Supply Chain, from factory to foxhole, across all parts of DOD. Real Time Locating systems and Satellite Tracking Systems are used in selected applications to enhance the goal of asset visibility. |
| 2:00-2:30 pm Track 2 |
Hampton Products International Case Study Speaker: Mr. Brian Millsap, VP and CIO Hampton Products RFID deployment is a success story that other consumer product goods companies can replicate. Shortly after Wal-Mart announced its RFID mandate in 2004, Hampton Products made the critical decision to implement RFID early. Although this leading manufacturer of locks, hardware and security products did not fall into the category of Wal-Mart's top 100 suppliers, Hampton Products did share Wal-Mart's vision of using RFID to achieve operational efficiency and long-term ROI. The long-term payoff: improved stock rates at Wal-Mart stores, more accurate shipments and supply-chain alerts. Today, Hampton Products enjoys short-term ROI in many areas through exchanges with its supply-chain partners and internal process improvements. Hampton Products' Vice President and Chief Information Officer Brian Millsap will share how his company's innovative culture challenged its IT department to unlock ROI using RFID. He also will present how tight vendor-partner relationships support Hampton Products' RFID strategy — as well as the evolution of that strategy as Hampton Products migrates to the Gen 2 encoding specifications. |
| 2:30-2:45 pm |
BREAK |
| 2:45-3:15 pm Track 1 & 2 |
The Boeing Company Case Study Speaker: Daryl Remily, Deputy Program Manager Mr. Daryl Remily will enlighten us about the part that automatic identification technology plays in commercial aviation today. It promises to be a winning proposition for Airbus and Boeing, as well as for their suppliers (as approximately three quarters of our supplier base is common) and airline customers alike. Across the aviation industry, the business case for deploying RFID is perhaps more robust and clear than in any other segment of the economy, as it will: • Accelerate the production process • Improve and streamline maintenance functions • Decrease aircraft downtime • Produce higher spares availability while reducing spares inventory, and • Enhance passenger safety. |
| 3:30-4:30 pm Speaker Panel: Dr. Howard Beales, Senior Consultant, CAP Analysis Mr. Lee Tien, Senior Staff Attorney, Electronic Frontier Foundation |
RFID and Privacy Panel – The REAL Story Moderator: Ross Stapleton-Gray, Stapleton-Gray & Associates With all of the news and editorials covering RFID and privacy, it's important to be well educated on all sides of this discussion before deciding how you or your company need to address the questions. Ross Stapleton-Gray moderates an interactive panel of policy professionals that represent the different privacy issues/non-issues related to RFID. |
