Event Summary:

This is a follow-up event based on the success at our RFID-enabled Supply Chain Management in September 2004 in Copenhagen and will take RFID one step further by examining the results achieved from collaboration.

With a business case based on RFID Supply Chain Collaboration it is possible to accelerate RFID usage and to sustain a competitive business advantage in the future. All partners should understand how to benefit from RFID to be able to start transforming their own value chain. That’s when the RFID bandwagon starts rolling!

Companies simply need to enhance collaboration with partners, customers and competitors in order to develop a successful business case in RFID and supply chain. By recognising win-to-win scenarios for everyone involved, it is possible to overcome major hurdles such as price of tags and readers, technology standards and mass application for everyone in the entire value chain.

It all started when the US Department of Defence and supermarkets on both sides of the Atlantic gave their major suppliers the mandatory to meet in the field of RFID implementation. These suppliers are now in the process to move from pilot projects to rolling out RFID in their global business organisations. Collaboration is the key to make RFID a long term success story!

Our top-level speaker panel from world-leading companies and organisations will bring you to the next stage of successful RFID Supply Chain Collaboration by sharing their best experiences learnt such as how to identify your internal RFID business case, how to design a pilot project and how to rolling out RFID in collaboration with your partners, customers and competitors.

This conference will tackle key issues such as:

  • How to develolop a new business model and enable end-to-end supply chain
  • Integrating RFID into your existing business processes to transform your supply chain
  • Trialing the technology throughout your value chain to drive innovation
  • Accelerating RFID collaboration to build a demand driven supply chain
  • Launching RFID to lower the prices and optimise the quality of your products and services
  • Improving internal systems and processes to enable co-operation with your customers, partners and suppliers
  • Creating a framework to speed up the usage of wireless applications in the European marketplace
