RFID Overview andFuture PathsRitesh Gupta
AGENDA The Value Proposition of RFID RFID Trends Industries and Application Zebra’s RFID Portfolio Zebra RFID API
WHAT IS RFID?Auto ID Data capture(AIDC) technology,that uses radiofrequency waves towirelessly transferdata between RFIDtagged items and anRFID reader
BAR CODE SCANNING AND RFIDBAR CODE SCANNINGRFID Line of sight Read many items at once Visible Broad range One at a time Identifies unique items SKU or class of goods EPC or asset ID Inoperable if visually damaged Wireless Operator intervention Harder to deface Read-only Automated Affordable Read/Write Harder to replicateNOT ONE OR THE OTHER – MANY CUSTOMERS USE BOTH TECHNOLOGIES SIDE BY SIDE
RFID BY THE NUMBERS The total RFID market for 2014is 8.9 billion, up 13% from2013 The RFID hardware revenue ispredicted to grow by up to asmuch as 20% each year 33% of the total US apparelmarket is engaged in RFIDactivity today and in 2015.Record UHF tag volumeshipment in 2014 35% CAGR from 2010-14 Lower cost / higherperformance200520142008Sources: IDTechEx, IDTechEx, ABI Research, ChainLink Reseach,
TRENDS Adoption moving from Tier 1 to Tier 2 Companies (Mid-Market) Better Ergonomics / Purpose built devices / Advanced software and tools Higher performance Smaller form factors lower cost RFID enablement of mobile devices Drive toward full automation Continuing to remove the human factor Integration of Technologies One size does not fit all – UHF, HF, NFC, UWB, BLE Driving multi-faceted solutions Data --- actionable business information Importance of software and data analytics Data accuracy and integrity Retail adoption is driving RFID headlines – but so are other verticals: manufacturing, t&l, healthcare, hospitality, etc. Moving toward the Internet of Things (IoT)
