Event Summary:

The RFID bandwagon is re-shaping modern business of today. By adopting RFID technologies, companies are able to optimise logistics in the supply chain and win new business opportunities in the future. With RFID tags and readers manufacturers are able to perform real time tracking and tracing, all the way from the factory plants to the consumers, in order to minimise costs, reduce time and optimise quality.

Many companies are moving RFID from a lab environment to a live environment. The key issue right now is to make it happen!

According to an independent survey the market for RFID is expected to grow from $ 1 billion in 2004 to $ 3 billions by 2008. A driving force behind the rapid deployment of RFID for supply chain management has been the US Department of Defence and supermarkets on both sides of the Atlantic. The big companies have already embraced this new technology, while smaller ones have adopted a wait-and-see approach to learn from the best experiences gained from the pioneers in the new supply chain landscape.

This international one day-conference will provide you with a roadmap for execution change and to achieve breakthrough performance throughout the entire value chain. This event will examine the role of RFID to track and trace products throughout the entire value chain.

A top-level speaker panel from world-leading companies and organisations will guide you through the whole process, from the drawing board, right through to the setting up of RFID technologies for your supply chain management.
