3. Establish a unique identification for each meter, laying the foundation for improved marketing operations and information management.
The system would integrate RFID, software, and network technologies to track meters through associated electronic tag and database information. This would enable dynamic logistics managementRethinking RFID Models in the Supply Chain

The document discusses rethinking RFID models in the supply chain. It provides an overview of how RFID was initially envisioned for use in supply chains to provide real-time tracking across the entire chain. However, a number of factors held back adoption, including costs and lack of industry standards. More recently, the use of RFID has expanded to include customers through applications like tracking freshness and authenticity. The document argues that the future of RFID involves using it across the entire supply chain and customer experience through end-to-end tracking and applications that engage customers directly.03 internet-of-things-rfid-systems-and-applications

This document analyzes Metro Group's consideration of expanding its RFID implementation in retail supply chains from pallet-level tagging to case-level tagging. It provides background on Metro Group, observations on benefits of RFID technology, identified problems, and options for Metro Group. It evaluates sticking with barcodes, full RFID implementation, improving existing processes, and switching to case-level tagging. It recommends case-level tagging as it provides greater financial benefits than pallet-level tagging or other options, and is in line with Metro Group's mission, though suppliers may have increased costs. By 2005, Metro Group had already realized benefits from its initial RFID implementation.Nkt releases digital cable drum tracking solution

NKT has developed a digital platform called TrackMyDrum to enable smart tracking of cable drums and improved project management. The platform uses IoT sensors and GPS to track cable drums, ensure they are returned on time, monitor their location, and detect if they are moved outside preset areas. Companies in the energy and installation industries can now reduce costs for lost or delayed return of drums with TrackMyDrum. NKT sees great demand for smarter asset management and TrackMyDrum will improve cable utilization, reduce waste, and accelerate customers' operations.Rfid technology wattmeter meter storage management system -C&T RF Antennas Inc

Case Study BT Cable - 2 pager
- 1. Case Study Using Active RFID to enable the 21st Century Cable Yard for stock control and security Profile BT Supply Chain Partners provides logistics and supply chain services to more than 30,000 BT engineers across the UK, including the management of engineer- ing spares and cable stocks held at more than 150 BT sites and cable compounds across the United Kingdom. Challenge Cable stock within BT consists of both special cable ordered for specific jobs and commonly used cable (Kanban) stored in outside compounds. Around 80% of cable is copper core, with a single large drum being worth many thousands. In storage, cable is at a high risk of theft, particularly from compounds which are un- manned. Whilst many of the engineering components and consumables at technical equip- ment centres have been managed with up to 400 cable drums in a single yard at any one time, the challenge set was to provide an effective system to manage and optimise the issue and return process, providing accurate stock visibility in the local yard and across all yards to manage stock, enable greater reuse and to link this into security. This had to be achieved without imposing additional administration onto customer focussed engineers. Solution The BT supply chain team turned to RadiantWave to come up with a workable solution. RadiantWave designed a solution using Active RFID tags to automati- cally identify each cable drum and using a central asset and stock management system to record cable stocks and related transactions. Active RFID tags were used to provide Proof of Delivery of cable drums, identify there movements in and out of compounds and to enforce engineer issue and re- turn transactions all with detailed timestamps and audit trail. Radio Data Terminals (RDTs) are used by compound managers to record re- ceipts, issues and returnscapturing information such as cable lengthand used for walk-by auditing and drum location. The solution was first delivered in trial form at the Croydon TEC and in 2006 an improved version was deployed at the 21CN demo site at Cardiff, with the solution rolling out across compounds in 2008. The solution enables the compound managers to increase re-use of cable, improve service to engineers and reduce non-returned drums. Linked with the Supply Chain item tracking system in use at BT, the solution provides full traceability of Cable in delivery to compounds through the BT network and into use. Results Page 1 / 2
- 2. The RadiantWave delivered solution Application The BT Cable Drum Management System is delivered on RedPrairies Mobile Resource application, a powerful enterprise Service Orientated Architecture application with easy to use browser interface and handheld client for activity in the yard using a LXE industrial terminal. The system delivers BT a complete and detailed stock level and usage visibility, along with a host of reports on stock, asset, engineer and security monitoring. The Event Management System constantly monitors and alerts for activities in the yard, even when unmanned, to identify engineer issues/returns and potential thefts. Technology RadiantWave selected Active RFID tags and readers from Wavetrend, a leading provider of long range Active RFID equipment following extensive trials and the development of a new tag for the application. LXE and Psion RDTs are used to provide the handheld terminals with Active Tag reading capability for compound managers. Page 2 / 2 www.radiantwave.com 息 RadiantWave 2007. All trademarks acknowledged.
