Hi!
An interesting article from Aberdeen Group research, regarding RFID, deployments
“….A critical factor in such success is a greater focus on business process visibility, improvement, and optimization. Among Best-in-Class companies using RFID identified by Aberdeen Group research, 100% reduced process failure incidents by at least 20%, and improved process throughput by at least 10%. These positive results set the stage for broader RFID deployments in 2008 and beyond.”
It’s really interesting, in retail, mentioning the motivators to RFID: compliance losses importance, while business process visibility, customer service and asset tracking raises to the top.
In a past contribution regarding RFID, I mentioned what in my opinion are the key factors to consider in an RFID project:
-
“close the loop”
-
benefits for all participants
-
concrete and practical scenario where to deploy and measure ROI
-
change management: the benefit of RFID is also related with business processes improvements
What do you think?

From my point of view, the facts and recession lives “another parameters and realities” comparing north american and european (or others) economies, but in any case is a good read, no doubt!

IDTechEx reviewed the status of RFID in 2007. The market for RFID grew to $5 billion in 2007, mainly powered by a peak in the use of RFID tags in the Chinese national ID card. China ordered $2 billion in cards and infrastructure, making China the biggest consumer of RFID in 2007. Other RFID growth showed up in sectors such as healthcare, financial, security and safety.More than 500 new RFID projects in 101 countries were launched in 2007. These projects involve more than 4,000 organizations. The average project involves more than 300,000 tags. The United States retained its lead with the largest number of projects, while China left from number five to number three, overtaking Japan and Germany. The new projects range from tagging pets and livestock to 37.5 billion tag to go on cigarette packets.

Puede ser algo “friki”, pero no sé por qué, me gusta.
Could be a little bit freak, but I don’t know why, I like it
I’m gonna sing this song with all of my friends
and we’re all from Barcelona
Love is a feeling that we don’t understand
but we’re gonna give it to ya We’ll aim for the stars
We’ll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we’ll bring you love
You’ll be one of us when the night comes” —> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwwbXHNGsjU

Bob Metcalfe - Con él llego el estándar
Siendo un joven ingeniero de Xerox PARC, Metcalfe co-inventó Ethernet en 1973, sin siquiera intuir que su método tecnológico para conectar ordenadores en red local acabaría convirtiéndose en el sinónimo de términos como networking y LAN. Hoy, el estándar sigue ganando batallas incluso en el segmento de los operadores de telecomunicaciones, con velocidades de hasta 10 Gbps y una presencia creciente en las redes metropolitanas, las redes de acceso y las WAN. En 1979, Metcalfe fundó 3Com para explotar comercialmente su invento y, desde entonces, es uno de los visionarios más respetados de la industria. Colaborador de IDG durante mucho tiempo, hoy ayuda a Polaris Venture Partners a impulsar start-ups innovadoras. Gracias por todo, Bob, muchas gracias.
