AGENDA   11:00 AM Welcome and Introduction Speaker: Mark Roberti, Founder and Editor, RFID Journal 11:05 AM Targeting the Correct RFID Technology for the Right Project  This session will present proven methods used to discover profitable challenges that can be addressed with RFID, and specific tools for selecting the proper technology for your particular project. Wisely selecting the correct RFID candidate projects and the right technology will help your organization minimize its investment, while improving supply chain efficiency more quickly. Speaker: Ygal Bendavid, Ph.D., Professor,University of Quebec Montreal (UQAM) School of Management, and Co-Founder of RFID Academia, RFID Academia   11:55 AM Linking RFID to Inventory-Management Best Practices  RFID has finally reached a level of maturity at which a critical number of end users are benefiting from the technology at the warehouse level. This session will discuss practical examples of how these companies are using RFID to benefit from real-time visibility into their operations, and to improve their supply chain and inventory-management performance.   12:10 PM RTLS Technology Helps Company Streamline Warehouse Operations A global technology company wanted to streamline operations at its North American warehouse, and initiated systems and processes to support its overall business transformation. After identifying opportunities at the warehouse to enhance operations, the firm deployed a real-time locating system (RTLS) to inform associates picking items of the proper staging area, thereby allowing for greater flexibility in staging, as well as a reduction in labor costs. The system has delivered a quick return on investment and cost savings to the company. Learn how the firm is using the RTLS technology at its North American warehouse to quickly locate and ship products to customers faster than before.   12:30 PM Reducing Inventory-Management Costs Via RFID A manufacturer of optical fibers, optical cables and other related products is using an RFID-enabled solution to monitor the level of raw materials within its 30,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. The company's manufacturing process is in operation 24-7, but its warehouse is only staffed for 40 hours a week, leaving a large gap of time during which raw material movements were unmonitored. When manufacturing personnel removed material during off-hours, the warehouse's raw material count was incorrect, leading to occasional material shortages. Hear how the firm is employing radio frequency identification to track raw materials, thereby resulting in fewer material shortages and disruptions to the production schedule. 12:55pm Closing Remarks Speaker: Speaker: Mark Roberti, Founder and Editor, RFID Journal REGISTER NOW »		GOLD SPONSOR FREE Virtual Event: RFID for Warehouse and Inventory Management NOV. 14, 11 AM-1 PM EST. » REGISTER NOW « UPCOMING EVENTS RFID Journal LIVE!
