Lessons Learned - CollectionsWeeding, weeding, weeding BEFORE taggingAccept non tagged items – make it a backroom
issue not a customer service issueSimple tagging on multi-part setsRFID has enabled better merchandising of the
collections

Lessons Learned - FacilitiesYou need to be very aware of interference and the
proximity of metal (including nails/screws in furniture, drawer rails, cable and wiring management…) with any of the readers/antennas.
RFID readers/antennas create a reading zone that is symmetrical below and above the antenna. Putting metal below the antennas shrinks the size of the reading cloud both below and above the antenna.

• Laws of physics apply no matter what a vendor promises
• Weak signal may read a chip BUT need stronger signal to write to the chip and turn off security bit
