RFID Deployments—Architecture and Infrastructure Considerations
RFID is about enabling enterprises get information about their
business processes and operations in real time, to make the right decisions at the right time. To enable this real-time enterprise vision, it is essential to make the right infrastructure choices right now, as enterprises grow their initial pilots and proof-of-concept projects to enterprise-wide, and supply chain-wide deployments. This session will highlight some of these choices and best practices around RFID infrastructure and enterprise IT infrastructure.

From Promise to Practice—Business Processes Transformation
Enabled by RFID
While the majority of the initial RFID deployments focused on compliance oriented applications, leading companies are already looking beyond mandates and generating value by making their core business processes "real world aware." Examples range from establishing electronic proof-of-delivery based on RFID read data in consumer products and retail, to establishing an authenticated product and electronic pedigree in pharmaceutical and food industries, etc. This presentation will describe the details of some of these solutions, share experiences from real life deployments and describe the requirements of the right technology platform to address short and long term needs.
