Additional RFID Courses

Following on from the success of our RFID+ course, we are pleased to announce a broad range
of RFID training courses.

These courses will be of interest to companies in sectors such as retail, transport, logistics, supply chain management, healthcare, pharmaceutical, food safety and security.

These courses will be facilitated by Michael Pollock, an RFID+ professional and presented by Dr Peter Harrop FIEE.

Peter is one of the world’s leading experts in RFID, who travels intensively to see the latest advances in action and get the truth about what is going well and what is not. He is chairman of IDTechEx which provides consultancy, conferences and publications on RFID, smart packaging and printed electronics.

He wrote or co-wrote the reports RFID Forecasts, Players, Opportunities 2008-2018, RFID for Logistics and Postal Services, RFID in the Air Industry and Real Time Locating Systems 2008-2018 and he supports the IDTechEx Knowledgebase of over 3600 RFID projects in 109 countries a unique resource updated daily.

It includes 402 projects concerned with land and sea logistics and postal, and 130 concerned with airlines and airports. He was previously a board member of consumer goods giant Mars in the UK.

Course Overviews:

1. RFID In Retail Awareness Workshop

This course will look at how RFID can tackle crime, reduce cost and increase sales in retailing. It will consider how RFID benefits manufacture, shipment, storage, sorting, stock control, merchandising, gathering consumer information and controlling sale in the store and even use of retail goods by the purchaser but the primary emphasis will be RFID in the store.

James Stafford, Head of RFID Adoption Avery Dennison and former Head of RFID at Marks and Spencer will be a guest speaker.

2. RFID Technologies and Capabilities
This course is an introduction to RFID. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is evolving as a major technology enabler for tracking goods and assets around the world. It can help hospitals locate expensive equipment more quickly to improve patient care, pharmaceutical companies to reduce counterfeiting and logistics providers to improve the management of moveable assets. It also promises to enable new efficiencies in the supply chain by tracking goods from the point of manufacture through to the retail point of sale.

3. RFID in Transport, Logistics and SCM

This course will look at RFID in the transport, logistics and supply chain management sector. It will consider how RFID benefits fleet management, shipment, distribution centres, sorting and stock control in heavy logistics, military logistics, courier and postal services but the primary emphasis will be RFID for civil transport, logistics and supply chain management.

4. E-Labels, E-Packaging and the Magic of Printed Electronics

Printed electronics will revolutionise labels and packaging, delighting consumers and creating opportunities for premium pricing of the label, the package and the brand. E-labels and associated e-packaging will become a new market that will rise to several billion dollars in value. One of the largest markets that will be created by the new printed electronics will be for a family of electronic labels that present more information, more clearly and employ more of the human senses. However, the opportunity goes far beyond the provision of clearer instructions. It includes reusable, reconfigurable, programmable and other labels, some of which are responsive and interactive.
