RFID is not just about tags and readersThere is various way to deliver an RFID solution
• RFID a multi-layer system
• Comprising different hardware and software technologies
• Integrated with your existing enterprise's back-end systems (WMS)
Connected to communication networks

Moving from idea/Concept to projects!Requirements definition and Management
• Req. Def.& Mgt. “as a necessary step for the successful delivery of systems and software projects (such as RFID!)
• The impact of a poorly expressed requirement can be devastating; ‐ domino effect that leads to time‐consuming rework, inadequate deliveries and budget overruns.
– I want to have talking inventory!
– A smart warehouse!
Ygal Bendavid Adapted from Tavassoli D (2009), Requirements management White paper June, IBM
– Intelligent processes!
– Autonomous pallets!
Moving from idea to projects Supporting the writing of an RFID project proposal
“(…) link user requirements to system requirements and system
Ygal BendavidHood et al., 2008 ‐ Requirement management, chap 6, Project Management interface
system requirements and system requirements to design requirements (…) to work packages, to resources and budgets, to milestones and deliverables”…

Data analysis & Sol. DevelopmentSome Basic Questions to support the Design of the “to Be”
business & technological Scenarios
• Which application / business process(es)?– Which products? What level of tagging?
– What functionalities are required for the tags/readers?
– What is the level of process automation? Automated? Semi-automated?
– Where will items need to be identified?
– How Many products (tags) at a time?
– What is the speed (reading, commissioning tags, etc.)?
What is the reading/writing distance? Where?
Ygal Bendavid
– What is the reading/writing distance? Where?
– What is the required level of Security ?
– With who to share the info? Why?
– etc
