  1. Mobilizing Field Forces On Smartphones 4/20/2010
    This ABI Research white paper examines the use of smartphones as tools for mobile field workers as a replacement for rugged devices. For many field workers, ordinary smartphones can perform many of the required tasks at a fraction of the cost of rugged handhelds. By Kevin Burden and Dan Shey
  2. White Paper: Cost-Benefit Analysis Of An RFID Asset Tracking System 4/1/2010
    This paper outlines the cost-benefit analysis of using Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in an asset-tracking application. By Shayne Pidding, RAMP RFID

  4. White Paper: OnAsset Medical Smart Container 11/11/2009
    Automated identification systems today are quickly emerging as an enabler in the fast pace industries we live in. The numerous reasons for this strong emergence are not limited to the fact that these technologies offer an unsurpassed identification scheme that allows for more efficient processes. In fact, auto-id technologies offer so much more to the user although they typically consist of only three major divisions. The three major concepts employed by auto-id technologies are the track, trace and authentication mechanisms.By OnAsset Intelligence, Inc
  5. RFID Adoption For Perishable Foods Will Be Driven By Benefits, Not Government 10/29/2009
    Fresh food represents a strong potential RFID market, but the adoption will come from true business value, not FDA regulation or congressional action. We expect RFID benefit will be generated from improving retailer and distributor revenue, while also lowering cost. Key components to adoption will be the development of a uniform set of data standards, a standard communication mechanism, and the ability to improve visibility of merchandise and data about the merchandise, particularly temperature. By Reik Read, Managing Director and Senior Analyst, Robert W. Baird & Co.

  9. Case Study: New Belgium Brewing RFID Keg Tracking 10/15/2009
    New Belgium Brewing was conceived during a bike ride through Belgium in 1989 and now produces world-class beer from their Colorado brewery. Like any large, mobile pool of assets, New Belgium's fleet of nearly 150,000 kegs is difficult to track, but the brewer must also contend with an industry standard keg loss rate of 4-6%, as well as craft beer volume growth of nearly 10% a year. Because of these factors, and assuming a rate of 3.5 turns per year, New Belgium may purchase nearly 20,000 new kegs in 2009. By Fluensee
