Experts divulge RFID tips

The excitement in radio-frequency identification is electrifying. That was evident at yet another packed room at an RFID gathering, this one a session held August 24 during the Atlanta, GA-based Petroleum Packaging Council’s fall meeting in Chicago.

Presenters were Pat Helm, managing partner of integrator Mfg. Systems Group; Chris Hook, director RFID market development, Zebra Technologies; and RFID and research and development manager Mike Sanzone of MPI Label Systems. Some intelligence they passed along included the following:

β€’ Don’t be intimidated: RFID tags are simply another form of labeling in the manufacturing environment.

β€’ Get all departments involved in RFID from the start. Time is wasted if departments are left out at the beginning, then must catch up later.

β€’ Track and trace are two different things: Track means to monitor in transit, and trace is a historical record.

β€’ In-mold labeling of RFID tags is in the development stage.
