RFID Report: Best In Class RFID Trends Revealed In Aberdeen Report
ODIN technologies, the leading RFID infrastructure services, software and solution firm announced recently the sponsorship of Aberdeen's "Winning RFID Strategies for 2008". The report details Best-in-Class trends of early adopters and offers insights and recommendations for companies currently building, considering, or expanding RFID deployments. ODIN is providing free copies of the report (a $399 value) if you follow the link on the ODIN technologies home page www.ODINtechnologies.com.
"Aberdeen research shows that first movers are gaining significant, sustainable competitive advantages, ranging from better asset tracking to business process improvement, by adopting RFID ahead of their competitors," said Michael Dortch, author of the study for Aberdeen. "Key elements of successful, ‘best-in-class' RFID deployments include data accuracy and infrastructure scalability. These requirements are catalyzing development of a new marketplace for automated RFID infrastructure solutions that enable 24x7 RFID availability and high accuracy, while reducing or eliminating the need for human intervention."
"The Aberdeen report cites end user benefits similar to what ODIN clients have found first hand: significant reductions in process failure, work-in-process cost and throughput time from the use of accurate and scalable RFID systems," commented Patrick J. Sweeney II from ODIN technologies. He added, "Aberdeen is ahead of the curve in calling out the need for automation in RFID infrastructure deployment, maintenance and support. ODIN has addressed this need in our global deployments for clients such as the US Department of Defense, Airbus, Shaw Industries and others. ODIN's patented EasyRFID software tools are the first step in automating RFID infrastructure deployment, maintenance and support. The tools are designed to help end users employ the same sophisticated automation that ODIN technologies uses in our projects and support services."
The report highlights the success end-users have with RFID-focused specialty companies given the sophisticated nature of the RFID equipment and systems. Aberdeen also defines a new class of technology: Automated RFID Infrastructure (ARI). ARI is the capability of deploying and supporting sophisticated RFID devices at the edge of a network without the need for talented IT support staff and optimal conditions. ARI will be a requirement for large-scale RFID deployments if they are mission critical and if data accuracy and integrity are important.
