RFID TechnologyTexas Instrument vs Sun
Microsystems
  • By James Elmslie
  • Jeniffer Francisco
  • Steven Paisley

2
Radio Frequency Identification
  • Automatic identification method that relies on
    storing and retrieving data using RFID tags.
  • Passive, Semi-passive, Active
  • Basic RFID system
  • An antenna
  • A transceiver
  • A transponder (tag)

3
Significant Advantages
  • Non-contact, non-line-of-site characteristic
  • Read/Write capability exciting in interactive
    applications such as work-in-process tracking
  • Long read range
  • Portable database
  • Tracking in real time

4
How it works
  • Antenna emits radio signals to activate the tag
  • Radio wave ranges 1 inch to 100 feetor more
  • RFID tag passes through electromagnetic zone and
    is activated
  • Reader decodes data
  • Data is passed to host computer

5
How it works contd
6
Opportunity Cost
  • Cost of implementing RFID
  • Versus
  • Cost of NOT implementing RFID

Texas Instruments S6 Reader Utility
Version 1.32
  • Software and hardware both available for trial
  • Highly secure
  • Requires Texas Instruments upgrades
  • Most compatible with Texas Instruments EPC System
  • Helped Sanacorp increase efficiency and market
    share
  • Implementation Costs 300 000Training Costs
    100 000Implementation Period 1.5 years

9
Sun Java Systems RFID Software 3.0
  • Single annual license fee for software, support,
    maintenance, consulting, etc
  • Supports other RFID readers and printers, such as
    Sensormatic and Zebra Technologies
  • Two main components
  • Java System RFID Event Manager
  • Java System RFID Information Server

10
Sun Java Systems RFID Software 3.0
  • Direct connectivity to SAP II
  • Provide a large set of application programming
    interfaces
  • Warehouse management system will interact with
    business events
  • Design can grow both horizontally and vertically
  • Implementation Costs 150 000Training Costs
    50 000Implementation Period 9 months

Implement Sun Java Systems RFID Software 3.0
  • Aware of location of inventory at all time
  • Safeguard information
  • Multiple interfaces
  • Vital information readily available
  • Designed for easy integration with SAP
  • Emphasis on seamless integration

17
Leveraged in petPRO
  • Two FAGs requested this technology ? obvious
    importance to the company
  • Competitive Advantage ? Necessity
  • Long-term ROI
  • Already being tested by Nestle
