Introduction to RFID and RFID Integration Management - Two half-day courses on the same day!

Introduction to RFID provides an introductory overview of RFID technology and capabilities, and features hands-on demonstrations using RFID readers, antennas and tags.

RFID Integration Management will provide attendees with a strategic vision for integrating RFID into your business enterprise. This course examines several popular technology packages and explores what they have to offer in the way of RFID functionality.

Participants will receive an overview of RFID middleware and how it is used to span the gap between enterprise software and RFID hardware. Today, middleware can take an RFID event, such as reading a tag at a dock door, and inform the enterprise software of your company of that event. Attendees will learn best practices for using RFID data to streamline business processes and get maximum return on investment.
