 Manufacturing:
Case Study—Tagging Gas Meters During Production
The Sempra utilities—San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Gas—serve
California customers from the state's Central Valley to the Mexican border. During the
manufacture of gas meters, RFID tags are installed and later read at loading docks, in
DC supply and in trucks prior to installation. That has saved the utilitity company money
by eliminating meters "lost" during installation which, in turn, can give the customer free
gas.

 Defense/Aerospace:
Case Study – Using RFID to Track and Store High Value Interior and Structural Composite
Molds
Learn how one supplier is using RFID and other strategies to track and store high value
composite lay-up materials in a complex environment. The system tracks the items from
system dispatch through the entire production process including the Oven/Autoclave
where temperature and pressure dictate system design and also uses flexible storage
logic to maximize utilization of critically constrained storage space. Learn how a positive
ROI is delivered by reducing the time spent looking for the composite items, by reducing
the amount of space required for storage, by reducing overall turn around time, and by
automating production functions such as oven logging.

 Health Care/Pharmaceutical:
Case Study—Hospital RFID Cabinets Track Inventory, Improve Billing
After a highly successful trial, King's Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, KY has more
than doubled the number of cardiac medical equipment storage cabinets equipped with
RFID technology. The cabinets enable the hospital to keep tabs on inventory, eliminate
costs associated with expiration dates of the equipment, and linking with back-end
systems to automate its processes for patient billing.
