RFID at Work! (RFID-201) is a comprehensive one-day course to equip students for successfully initiating the analysis, design and implementation of a RFID solution. Designed for professionals with a solid understanding of RFID technology, components and applications, RFID At Work! offers practical, in-depth instruction and hands-on guidance for leveraging RFID in the real world.

Learn how to maximize RFID implementation

Led by recognized industry experts with extensive field experience in high-profile RFID deployments, students engage in:

• Interactive discussions of successful, and not so successful, RFID implementations.
• In-depth dissections of typical deployment options including print-and–apply, inline applicators, turn-table stretch wrappers, readers, and portal and conveyor reader arrays.
• Hands-on selection of the most suitable tags and tag placements at the pallet, case and item levels, with testing in simulated realworld settings.

Combining dynamic classroom dialog, worldclass subject matter expertise, and the use of the Alien RFID Solution Center’s simulated warehouse, manufacturing and retail environments, RFID At Work! places particular emphasis on:

• The best analysis, design and implementation practices from the first wave of RFID adopters.
• The importance of troubleshooting to a successful RFID initiative, including learning how to use proven tools and techniques for verifying success.
