GAO Instruments - Staff Editor Tues, 24 Feb 2009 14:14:57 GMT http://www.gaoinstruments.com/marketing/news/distr.php There are many applications for how RFID systems help manufacturers and warehouse operations; these applications can be as unique as the enterprise they help. However, there are some common areas in these industries related to their logistics of getting the finished product to the customer or to another distribution center. Bottlenecking of the goods at the shipping door has implications on the costs to ship goods, lowers revenues when there are fewer shipped goods to bill and puts a drag on productivity gains you have made in other areas of the enterprise. GAO Instruments - Staff Editor Thu, 06 Mar 2006 07:47:47 GMT http://www.gaoinstruments.com/marketing/news/workinpro.php The ability of any enterprise to effectively monitor it's manufacturing facility and work in progress has been an elusive or costly endeavor. However, with the introduction of RFID technologies and its application to the manufacturing process such initiatives are now well within reach. GAO Instruments - Staff Editor Wed, 27 Sep 2006 12:49:41 GMT http://www.gaoinstruments.com/marketing/news/dsp.php Wireless IP connectivity greater than 50 kilometers is still an elusive creature almost impossible to capture. Wifi and WiMAX provide the first glimpse of extended communications. However the goal is mobile and fixed wireless IP-connectivity at distances up to 1000km. This year the communications industry prepares for the first prototypes of wireless, software based, open source, multi-slotted connectivity device, with minimum 64Kbs throughput. GAO Instruments - Staff Editor Wed, 27 Sep 2006 12:50:18 GMT http://www.gaoinstruments.com/marketing/news/stra.php An RFID strategy provides an outline to use the technology aligned with an enterprise's strategic visions and goals. A business that strives to be a model of efficiency could use RFID to streamline the operations is a typical example. The RFID strategy is applicable whether big or small business because RFID is going to be found anywhere in the near future. GAO Instruments - Staff Editor Tue, 05 Sep 2006 13:34:03 GMT http://www.gaoinstruments.com/marketing/news/epc.php The EPC Tag Class Structure is often misunderstood. 'Class' is not the same as 'Generation'. Class describes a tags basic functionality for example whether it has memory or a battery. Generation refers to a tag specification's major release or ver-sion number. The full name for what is popularly called EPC Generation 2 is actually EPC Class 1 Generation 2, indicating that the specification refers to the second major release of a specification for a tag with write-once memory.
