Editor's Notes
- The following information is based on a report by VDC Research Group. VDC provides primary market research on emerging technologies including RFID technology.
- In this video we’ll share the new supply chain dynamic and the role of cloud based solutions in this dynamic.
- A new supply chain dynamic exists in which real-time actionable data is critical to improving supply chain operations. The growing use of RFID technology coupled with cloud computing has enabled such a dynamic. More than ever, supply chain managers can now rely on real time data to improve proactive decision-making that drives value across the supply chain.

- Supplychain management has taken on new importance in the executive suite, especially for temperature sensitivegoods such as foods and pharmaceuticals. To many organizations, the supply chain remains only a tool to reduce costs. However, new requirements are emerging for optimizing condition monitoring across the supply chain. While cost reduction remains important, the real opportunity in supply chains is to get them better aligned with trading partners to meet real customer needs and thus increase revenues, address regulatory requirements, while reducing costs along the way.

- New RFID solutions can help meet these requirements by improving the quality and timeliness of decision making. Before RFID and cloud computing, decisions could only be made well after data was recorded. Now because information is more readily available, decisions can be made quickly based on real time data shared in the cloud. In addition, this data also helps reduce company liability and risk.
- Cold supply chains, in particular, have the strongest need for condition monitoring data in order to reduce waste and loss due to temperature related spoilage. Improving efficiencies in the cold chain have been elevated to a “mission critical need” and leveraging actionable, sensor-driven data in real time across operations is viewed as crucial to fostering the new supply chain dynamic. The combination of RFID-enabled technology, wireless communication and cloud computing address this mission critical need.redo

- With the exploding acceptance of cloud computing, adoption of RFID technology is expected to accelerate over the next 12-24 months. A cloud-based architecture will likely enable a migration to RFID systems by those that may have deemed the technology too expensive for most supply chain operations in the past. Cloud computing can enable true real-time data capture to support multiple value propositions Graph on windo

- Supply chain managers are addressing multiple business problems through the use ofBAP UHF RFID-enabled sensors, cellular networks and cloud-based data services. These include enhancingReplace left hand column with something which doesn’t give away the story
- supply chain visibility…
- security and safety…
- condition monitoring and traceability…
- And awareness and status reporting.
- As illustrated by the diagram, implementing RFID cloud based solutions has a domino effect.
- The more business objectives that can be served, the easier it is to justify the cost and the more compelling the ROI becomes.
- The last two objectives are arguably the most valuable and are positively impacted through the use of cloud computing.
- Using a cloud based solution has many advantages. Companies can deploy RFID solutions much faster while avoiding many of the costly upfront infrastructure expenses leading to an overall faster rollout and faster ROI. The cloud can help companies to manage the mountains of new data they pull from RFID tags being read, especially sensor-based tags sending information through cellular networks. Using the cloud requires less IT costs and allows IT staff to focus on other vital projects as well. In addition, cloud based solutions allow sharing information with multiple partners in both open loop and closed loop supply chain management. Fix audio timing for next few slides

- Capturing and sharing real time actionable data is critical to enable the intelligent supply chain. Beyond reducing costs and improving visibility, companies are looking for solutions which help meet their requirements of optimized condition monitoring, improving safety and asset utilization, and optimizing quality. Cloud-based RFID solutions can securely deliver the right information at the right time to the right partner at the right point of decision in any supply chain. The result is a more efficient, cost effective and agile supply chain in which all partners benefit.
