54. RFID-Based Materials Management - Supply Side Economics 9/27/2010
    Every EPC firm or owner I speak with tells me the same thing: "The supplier is the best person to attach the RFID tag to the pre-engineered component before it arrives at the site." Every supplier I speak with asks the same questions: "How hard will it be for my employees to learn to attach the RFID tags and how long will it take?"

58. Intelligent Foreign Object Prevention 8/18/2010
    In the vast world of aviation, a clean and properly maintained aircraft is key to the very safety of those who operate, work and ride on it. The same applies to the airport/airbase where aircraft fly in and out every day. Foreign objects (FO) is any substance, debris or article alien to a vehicle or system, which would potentially cause damage. Millions of dollars of damage each year are caused by FOD at airports and affect airports, airport tenants and the airlines. By XERAFY

60. Guest Series Part 2: RFID-Based Materials Management - A Game Of "What If" 8/9/2010
    No matter how effective a manual system may seem, because the recording of material movement is not automated, data becomes obsolete very quickly. To make matters worse, unique material identification numbers are often hand-written, painted, or etched onto material and can become faded, smeared, removed, or hidden by other materials or elements like grass, dirt, or snow. Thus, manual tracking of pre-engineered components leads to increased instances of components that are "not immediately found," which leads to higher costs and decreased productivity.
