We make radio work! 

 
We will work with you to apply our process rating methodology to jointly decipher which vertical within your business is optimum for RFID.  Next we will implement RFID technology to deliver ROI for your best use case.  Our approach will bring RFID to life!

Success requires the delivery of a RFID infrastructure which detects all SKUs movement through a controlled space.

t

he key deliverable for your RFID project is to demonstrate a reliable portal which reads a tag for the use cases within the air interface.  In doing this, ARS applies systematic engineering principles to minimize cost and ensure optimum read rate performance.

Our system for a RFID engagement encompass a 7 step procedure to ensure RFID adoption is a success.  The seven focusing steps are:

 

  1. Discover the RFID Opportunity
  2. Focus where RFID Matters Most
  3. Justify the Investment
  4. Conduct a pre-assessment test then a Pilot
  5. Migrate to Closed User Group
  6. Expand to Trading Partners
  7. Manage and Improve

 

In this web page  we cover steps 1 through 3 to illuminate the scope of work for our approach to making a RFID project a success. We would be pleased to review your situation and prepare a comprehensive plan to help you succeed with RFID.

 

  Discovery ~ Before we even send an away team to a customer’s site we ask three RFID pre-assessment questions for their decision makers (executives).

 

o      What is the desired outcome?

 

o      What will be our improved value proposition post RFID?

 

o      What will drive profit and stakeholder value?

 

Once our solution architects understand the client’s answers to these questions we can focus on the minimal technology infrastructure to deliver results that are compliant with their needs.  We are prime in determining what is the optimum slice of their business to “RFID”  and therefore generate immediate ROI.

 

In this stage of the solution architecture we examine factors such as:

 

o      Tags re-useable or one-time use?

o      What is maximum read distance?

o      Materials being tagged?  RF opaque or RF lucent materials

o      Orientation and speed of tags?

o      Number of tags?

o      Mandate requirements?

o      Legacy systems to interface?

 

To ensure this stage is accurate and comprehensive we always conduct a site visit to understand the theater of operation and how the factors above relate to implementation of RFID.  At the conclusion of this analysis we have rationale for computing the “I” in “ROI”.

 

 We justify the RFID investment according to three criteria as follows:

 

a)        Better for the customer experience (customer’s referred to in this context are the client’s customers)

b)       Easier for the client’s staff to do their jobs

c)        Cheaper or more profitable for the client to perform its business model

 

 

 

At the conclusion we have the “R” in the “ROI”.  The follow on pre-assessment test and pilot are designed to confirm the ROI expectations.
