Too many data errors

Too much time spent

Background

Electronics have allowed companies to be more efficient for

many years

Transition to mobile collection devices in certain industries

and environments has been VERY slow

Due to horror storiess of bad implementations, cost, fear of

work force reductions, misinformation, among other factors

have kept corporations from realizing the full benefits

Mobile Barcode Pros/Cons

Typical cost for label is less then .$01 per tag

Line of sight technology, the mobile collection device must havevisibility of the barcode in order to scan it

Since each tag must be scanned in order to collect data, otherinformation can be collected at read time besides just locationinformation

To re-write data a new label must be printed and placed on item/bin

Data can be encrypted but then software must be updated to decryptthe data

Barcodes are less durable then RFID tags

RFID Pros/Cons

$.20 to $3.00 per tag

Metal and liquids can interfere with communication between tag andreader

Multiple tags can be ready almost simultaneously

No review process, blind scanning and collection

Initial investment is higher, but once infrastructure is obtained andimplemented, requires much less human labor going forward

RFID Pros/Cons Cont

Data that is held on the tag can be changed dynamically by the reader atscan time

RFID cannot count quantities, if you are inventorying material you stillhave to count how much of each item you have in each bin

Security, data on the RFID tag can be encrypted or password protected

RFID tags are much more durable and since line of sight is not required,tags can be placed inside the item

Moores Law

Moore's law describes a long-term trend in the history ofcomputing hardware. The number of transistors that can be

placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles

approximately every two years.[1] This trend has continued for

more than half a century and is expected to continue until

2015 or 2020 or later.
