Enhancing the Omni-Channel Experience - RFID's Evolving Role in Fashion and Luxury

The benefits of RFID-enabled inventory are less obvious in fashion and luxury, where out-of-stocks are a sign of success. But, as loyal shoppers expect the same level of personalized service online as in-store, RFID is taking on a new role, sensing customer needs and keeping brand promises. This session will investigate RFID's evolving role in fashion, luxury and retail markets, with real-world examples, business metrics and deployment considerations.

Using RFID to Track Tools and Equipment

December 11, 2013 Time:
2:00PM -3:00 PM ET

At facilities ranging from remote worksites and assembly plants to medical centers and trailer yards, capital equipment is essential to operations. Missing equipment in a hospital can compromise patient care while misplaced tools in a manufacturing environment can derail a productionschedule. This session discusses how companies are automating equipment tracking processes with RFID, including what's driving adoption of RFID equipment tracking, where and how it is used, and ROI metrics forcalculating payback.

RFID in Harsh Environments

November 19, 2013
11:00 AM - 2:00 PM ET

Harsh Environment use cases span multiple industries, including Industrial Equipment, Oil & Gas, Mining, Chemicals and Life Sciences. RFID is being used to automate processes in research facilities, exploration, manufacturing and aftermarket services. This session will discuss real-world examples of RFID process automation in harsh environments, from planning considerations and ROI metrics to systems integration and enterprise deployment.

RFID in Manufacturing: Multi-Facility Assembly, Advanced Composites and Indirect Materials

March 14, 2013
11 AM TO 1 PM EDT

Industrial Manufacturing processes are becoming more and more complex, and RFID is playing a key role in managing them effectively.

This session will discuss real-world examples of how RFID is helping manufacturers automate these processes, from managing multi-facility assembly processes, to tracking perishable composite materials, custom orders, tooling and indirect materials. Project design, enterprise systems integration and implementation options will be discussed.

Understanding RFID Myths and Opportunities in Aerospace

February 5, 2013
11:00 a.m. EST

RFID adoption in the Aerospace industry has increased dramatically in the past year. New standards and regulations are in place for 2013.

This webinar provides an update on the latest developments. Xerafy and OAT will debunk the top 5 myths about RFID in the aerospace industry, provide an easy-to-understand overview of different programs and standards, and present real-world examples of how aerospace manufacturers, suppliers and airlines are successfully using RFID to support a variety of operations.

RFID in Aerospace and Aviation
June 26, 2012, 11 AM - 1:30 PM EDT

Case Studies: RFID Composite Material Tracking & Tool Tracking
The most recent aircraft programs (A350, B787, C-Series) are achieving fuel efficiency through lighter, stronger composite materials. This poses both new opportunities and challenges for aerospace manufacturers, which must add new materials-management, tooling-tracking, fabrication and inspection processes to their current operations.

This session will discuss real-world examples of how RFID is helping manufacturers automate these processes, from tracking perishable composite materials in storage freezers, layup areas and autoclaves to monitoring the duty cycles of tooling and other indirect materials.
