RFID – What Is It?
Radio Frequency IDentification
A technology that identifies objects using low-power radio frequency technology.
Passive tags are 95% of the market
All RFID systems require two components: • RFID Reader • RFID Tag
Two Major Classifications• Active – battery powered tags• Passive – tags powered by the reader
How It Works
164B28F34
Host Computer
Reader
Antenna
Radio command signal issued from reader
Modified signal containing data returned
RFID Characteristics
Positives• Non Line-of-Sight• Volume Reads• Read/Write• Durability• Difficult to Replicate• Typically Automated
Negatives• Non-Isolating• Interference Issues
Water, Metal• Lack of Established
Infrastructure• Cost
Agenda
Real World Examples
Government Supply Chain
Inability to track and locate supplies in the field impacted military readiness.
Phased approach to compliance for suppliers on cases and pallets to use EPC Gen 1 RFID tags with a migration to Generation 2
Two DLA distribution centers, San Joaquin, CA and Susquehanna, PA, up and running
SOLUTION
Shipping and receiving accuracy already up 3%* Better visibility and more efficient distribution of supplies to the war fighter once materials reach their destination
BENEFITS
BUSINESS ISSUE
*Enabling the Supply Chain with RFID Technology, A. Estevez, April 2005
Permit Validation
SOLUTION
BENEFITS
BUSINESS ISSUEHoboken has over a million cars who park in the one square mile city.
Fraudulent and expired parking permits were common
Manual and bar code inspection tool up to several minutes since permits were not always visible.
RFID labels on parking permits.
Officers equipped with hand held RFID readers that easily read the tags even if they are hidden from view .
Increased revenue from citations
Reduction of illegally parked cars
Customer satisfaction as permits can now be renewed on-line
Access Control
SOLUTION
BENEFITS
BUSINESS ISSUESecurity issues increased with rise in terrorism
No way to monitor who had access to garage and who did not
Standard gate passes provided no data trail
Install RFID coded tags on windshield
RFID readers built into gate control
Now all entry and exit is controlled and recorded
Improper tag IDs can be quickly prohibited
Various reporting features now available
Disaster Planning
SOLUTION
BENEFITS
BUSINESS ISSUEHurricane Rita caused evacuation of millions of people, many using public resources.
No accurate way of tracking people in crisis times.
No accurate way of disbursing aid to those in need.
Issue RFID enabled wrist bands at all sites of embarkation and/or aid.
Fixed readers to track who gets on and off vehicles, who collects relief items, etc.
All state organizations can use RFID number as primary identifier for coordinated activities.
Multiple databases can be cross referenced quickly.
Fast accurate data collection
State of Texas
Asset Tracking
Tracking fixed assets was difficult and costly
Third Party inventory firm had to be used to accurately account for all equipment
RFID tags on all items
Portable readers to record items and locations
Weekly inventories versus annual counts
SOLUTION
Savings of tens of thousands of dollars as third party inventory firm no longer required
Better inventory accuracy throughout the year
BENEFITS
BUSINESS ISSUE
Border Control
Increased security requirements at US border causing delays
Increased biometric information required while decreasing processing time
RFID tags embedded into passports and I-94 forms
Identity information and possibly biometrics entered into tag
RFID readers at checkpoints
SOLUTION
Identities can be detected at a distance and relevant information made available when needed
Cleared citizens can be processed without stopping

Managing Critical Assets Using Strategic Asset Management
Presented By:
Charles Johnson, PMP
Senior Vice President
Interloc Solutions Inc.
www.interlocsolutions.com
What is Strategic Asset Management?
• Strategic Asset Management is an approach that enables organizations of any kind to view and manage their entire asset infrastructure, or asset classes, from a comprehensive, enterprise-wide perspective.
Why Strategic Asset Management?
• It makes assets visible and makes it possible to manage them for strategic benefit and bottom-line impact.
• Opportunities for operating efficiencies must be pursued to boost margins and remain competitive.
What does Strategic Asset Management do for you?
• Strategic asset management (SAM) maximizes the performance of fixed, physical or mission critical assets that have a direct and significant impact on achieving organizational objectives.
Asset Classes
• Equipment – Boilers, HVAC, Generators, Pumps, Motors
• Facilities – Structures, Roads, Grounds, Trails, ROOMS
• Fleet – Mobile Assets
• Information Technology – PC’s, Telecomm
• Resources – PEOPLE!
Basic Questions of Asset Management
• How can we manage critical infrastructure if we don’t know what we have?
• How can we determine exactly what assets we have?
• How can we identify which assets are most critical?
• How can we be more effective and efficient in managing our critical assets?
Concepts of Strategic Asset Management
• All assets are managed using a single system.
• Reduction or elimination of “Islands of Information”.
• Lifecycle management of all critical assets• Plan → Procure → Deploy → Track → Maintain → Retire
• Performance Management
• Real-Time Information
You have 50 or more individuals servicing facilities, office equipment, machinery, and/or fleet
You use paper-based work orders
Your technicians perform numerous jobs per day and/or complex activities
Your facilities are spread across a large area
Your workforce has minimal computer skills
You want more from your EAM or CMMS system
Reasons to consider Mobility…
Benefits
Minimize paperwork and data entry
Improve the quantity, quality and timeliness of information
Provide information at the point of performance
Additional Financial Benefits
