| | 2:45 PM | Leveraging RFID to Recycle Plastics
In 2009, HP Brasil set up drop-off centers around the country, in which customers could return ink-jet printers for recycling. The following year, it established the SmartWaste project, to leverage the RFID infrastructure it deployed to track printers using passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) tags with Electronic Product Codes (EPCs). The goal was to use the tag information to manage reverse logistics for end-of-life products. From July 2011, when the company implemented the SmartWaste solution, to the end of February 2012, it collected 35 tons of plastics for reuse. Each tag's EPC and serial numbers linked to a database containing a wealth of information regarding each printer, including its recyclable materials. Learn how HP Brasil is using an RFID-enabled solution to track e-waste, which is supporting the forecasting process by providing a clear picture of the potential of recycling sources.
Speaker:
Marcelo Pandini, Sr. Manager, Operations Strategy Development & Mfg Logistics, Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP)
Takeaways:
• How HP Brasil is using the RFID-based recycling program to comply with the Brasilian government's National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) legislation, enacted in August 2010, which makes electronics manufacturers responsible for collecting products and packages that can be reused
• The benefits of using RFID for the whole cycle of a product's life, not just to control the beginning | | 3:30 PM | How RFID Solutions Drive New Business Benefits
RFID hardware has become more reliable over the past few years, enabling companies to take advantage of RFID data in new and powerful ways. Software solutions are enabling firms to reengineer processes and deliver more value. In this session, our panel of experts will explain how businesses are leveraging these new capabilities.

| | 4:15 PM | Improving Health Care in Brasil With RFID
The UPA (Emergency Services Unit), located in Mesquita, Rio de Janeiro, installed a system from Atrio Rio for asset control, asset cleaning and medicine control. In order to reduce the incidence of hospital infections, coats and sheets were equipped with chips. In the future, cleaning items will also be monitored, as well as medicines and syringes. The goal is to establish logistics control and monitor the use of resources allocated to the health unit. The solution involved the use of RFID-enabled equipment identification. Portals were installed at strategic points, to control the flow of resources within the health unit. The project contains mobile devices—PDAs—for conducting inventories. The chips used meet the EPC-standard Gen 2 specifications, and are integrated more efficiently in order to provide better public services for the general population.
Speaker:
João Ricardo Tinoco de Campos, Nursing Director-IDR, Data RIO Institute of Public Administration
| | 5:00 PM | RFID Improves Supply Management for Army
A military logistics center has been equipped with EPC Gen 2 technology as part of a program to increase the efficiency, accuracy and visibility of distributing supplies to soldiers. Goods arrive at the distribution facility directly from vendors, and are then shipped to units and soldiers throughout the country. Prior to the system's installation, military personnel utilized paper and pen to manually track each shipment's location and status, and made telephone calls to provide status updates to those who shipped or received the items. Suppliers are tagging products with EPC Gen 2 ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) tags, and when tagged items are unloaded from trucks at the logistics center, the tags are read while passing through an RFID portal, thereby indicating that those goods were received. Each item has an EPC Gen 2 passive tag adhered to it, encoded with a unique ID number. Each item's tag ID number is married to the ID of the specific carton in which it is packed. Learn how the use of RFID has increased the speed and accuracy with which goods can be identified.
Speaker:
Cel Luiz Antonio de Almeida Ribeiro, Colonel, Brasil Exército
Takeaways:
• How the system improved the receiving process, by maintaining an electronic record that could be provided with an RFID reader and tags on items.
• The advantages of using RFID to monitor soldiers' equipment as it is shipped from the military warehouses to the soldiers | | 5:45 PM | Reception on Exhibit Floor

| | 5:15 PM | Brazilian Air Force Increases Efficiency with RFID
First national project to combine the technologies of automation inventory with radio frequency identification products. A robotic device on rails (stacker) and can store up to 5,000 separate boxes which are contained the uniforms for the officers and graduates of the Brazilian Air Force has been implemented in conjunction with radio frequency identification products. This groundbreaking combination allows existing products in storage units (boxes) are conferred in a cabin automated reading of RFID before being stocked by the stacker crane. Thus, each box moved to the position of separation is only returned to the stock hanger conference in RFID is positive. Thus, at each movement of the box is checked the occurrence of errors in product recall and is also an accomplished automated inventory. This procedure, besides other benefits, increased the separation efficiency dramatically material: Currently, the amount of separation errors is virtually zero and the separation time was reduced to one third the time in the previous procedure.
