Description
The realistic, no-hype guide to RFID evaluation, planning,
and deployment Approaching crucial decisions about Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) technology? This book will help you make
choices that maximize the business value of RFID technology and
minimize its risks. IBM's Sandip Lahiri, an experienced RFID
solution architect, presents up-to-the-minute insight for
evaluating RFID; defining optimal strategies, blueprints, and
timetables; and deploying systems that deliver what they
promise. Drawing on his experience, Lahiri offers candid assessments of
RFID's potential advantages, its technical capabilities and
limitations, and its business process implications. He identifies
pitfalls that have tripped up early adopters, and shows how to
overcome or work around them. This must-have resource can also act
as a reference guide to any nontechnical person who wants to know
about the technology. From building business cases to testing tags, this book shares
powerful insights into virtually every issue you're likely to face.
Coverage includes RFID "reality check": getting beyond the hype and the
counterreaction Aligning RFID strategy with business strategy Assessing applications, both prevalent and emerging Identifying opportunities to use RFID beyond supply chain
applications Choosing between RFID and barcodes Realistically assessing potential ROI, one step at a time Designing solutions that leverage RFID's advantages while
overcoming its performance limitations Understanding business flows impacted by a potential RFID
deployment Defining realistic roadmaps and timelines Addressing oft-neglected real-world issues, from tag validation
through managing expectations Dealing with standards RFID Sourcebook will help you ask the tough
questions...build the right applications...avoid costly
mistakes...work more effectively with suppliers and partners...time
your initiative...even find alternatives to RFID when that makes
sense. Whatever your role in RFID strategy, planning, or execution,
have Sandip Lahiri's experience and knowledge on your side: You'll
