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

• Economies of Scale

• Reduced Training Costs

• Decreased Dependency on Consultants

• Accountability to Fund Source

Are You Ready?

• Application of Strategic Asset Management Methodologies

• Application of Best Practices

• Business Process Re-Design

Keys to Success

• Management Buy-in

• Training

• Staff Participation

• More Training

• User Acceptance

• Just a Little More Training

Thank You
