Highlights of RFID Live: Part Two.
Defense
Defense/military end-to-end supply chains, logistics, procurement, inventory management, operations, and related topics including
WMS Technology Part Five – Service Management
Service and Maintenance as part of warehouse operations is not just warehouse management software features, but RFID, Voice, and of course, Service Parts Planning.
Applications of Total Cost Sourcing – Part 2
Total Cost Sourcing (i.e. making sourcing decisions based on the total impact across the whole company) takes many different forms and yields many benefits. In this article, we explore various applications, starting with simpler things like calculating total landed cost, and moving to more sophisticated applications like the tradeoffs between the cost of manufacturability and the cost of inventory.

RFID for DoD Suppliers: Module 3A
Module Three – Getting Started
Session A: Understanding the DoD Supply Chain (segment 5)
Have you ever wondered how the DoD manages to move all the necessary supplies to the warfighters in a “just in time” fashion, and provide the logistics experts in DoD the necessary visibility into the assets as they move throughout the supply chain? Learn how this movement of data that accompanies the movement of supplies can be of value to your operation as a DoD Supplier. Learn where the link is between RFID and UID.
RFID for DoD Suppliers: Science Behind RFID
Module Two – Understanding RFID Solutions
Session B: The Science Behind RFID (segment 4)
- What this session is about: You don’t have to be an electrical engineer to understand RFID. Understanding a bit of the science will significantly help with having a successful project — selecting the right technology, and implementing with fewer errors. Here we will cover how RF actually works in real life and what strategies you need to employ in order to conquer the waves.
- What you will learn: Understanding Waves and Behavior of RFID

RFID for DoD Suppliers : Technology Basics
Module Two – Understanding RFID Solutions
Session A: RFID Technology Basics
(segment 3)
- What this session is about: RFID is a misunderstood technology. And objective sources are few. Especially in the Military applications, it is important to understand the whole solutions capabilities. Many organizations only focus on their area instead of understanding how to apply the proper solution. Here we will provide a solid basic training.
- What you will learn: History of RFID
- Electromagnetic Spectrum – The Frequencies
- Terminology
- RFID Hardware
- RFID Software
- The Whole Solution Stack
- Speaker: Ann Grackin
Understanding DoD RFID Policy and Data Requirements This report — RFID Hardware — is for two audiences. There is a primer for those who do not have RFID knowledge. Although we use the word primer, we think most people will still learn a bit about RFID, even if they are not a beginner. The second audience is those seeking knowledge about the players in the Market.RFID for DoD Suppliers
