Companies around the world are examining RFID technology's potential to sharply increase efficiencies in procurement, production and distribution, enabling them to put better products into consumer hands more quickly.
Data management is a key issue for any organization deploying RFID technology, but the issues are broader than simply creating an infrastructure to manage the sheer volume of data.
Companies need to address a couple of questions: what data should be collected and stored? How is this data different from what is currently collected and stored? Who owns the data, and what elements are subject to privacy or security considerations? What is the best way to visualize this data and act upon key events? And most important, what business processes need to be changed to enable people to act upon this information?
