PRECONFERENCE SEMINARPresentations: RFID In Packaging
More than 2,500 people gathered at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Fla., to attend RFID Journal LIVE! 2007. This conference offered the educational content and technology exhibits attendees need to put RFID to work. And by all accounts, it was a huge success.

RFID Basics
This session is designed for all precoference seminar attendees who want to gain the foundational knowledge of RFID needed to engage vendors and begin to develop a business case. The differences between the various classes of tags will be explained, including active and passive systems. The need for additional IT systems to build upon RFID in real-world applications will be highlighted. The session also includes a very brief overview of the EPCglobal Network, the future of ISO standards, ETSI reader regulations and the latest standardization efforts worldwide. Finally, the relationship between different standards in the area of RFID and EPC, including the latest EPC generation 2 standard, will be presented. |

Overcoming Symmetry Challenges in RFID Packaging
Most products have symmetry to them and are inherently uniform for not only aesthetic features but also for basic mechanical integrity, manufacturability and cost of the packaging. But adding singular features or foreign devices can induce asymmetry and present enormous challenges to packaging design. Ignoring the example of how a flat inlay label RFID impacts a shipping carton, the majority of applications of RFID are not trivial and generally pose a challenge to existing design rules.
