After decades of technology refinement these radio tags have nowbecome very small and inexpensive

A great deal of innovation has brought us to the point where the silicon

core of an radio tag is now 0.4mm

The antenna can be printed onto a products packaging at time of

manufacture

Currently radio tags can be purchased for less that 0.25 in quantity.

=> RFID is small enough, fast enough, and cheap enough to do

real work with today.

What makes RFID relevant now?

Progressing but still not perfect

Does not work well if the tagged object is made of RF opaque material like metals,several type of liquids, carbon

RF can penetrate only up to a limited depth of a material. So it may be impossible toread all the case tags of a pallet, even if the cases are made of RF-friendly materials

The number of tags that can be simultaneously read/written is limited to about 50 100 /

second

The following environmental factors can hamper proper reading:- Speed with which the object is moving

- Human bodies (composed largely of water)

- Presence of RF interference, moisture and metals

Tag technology is not mature, intensive research is being conducted both at thetheoretical (e.g., antenna design) and manufacturing (e.g., material used, processingtechniques)

RFID: an ENABLER for Business Value Measurable impact to labor costs Real reduction in errors via automation reduction in mis-

shipments, lost inventory, and errors in redundant data reads Real gains in productivity by better managing the use of skilled

resources through automation Industry recognized qualitative impacts which returns improved

customer service, lessened warrantee handling, Driving regulatory impacts through compliance activities to meet

governmental regulations Automated POS means skilled resources are in front of your

customers and not behind a cash register

Every container has an integrated passive RFID tag with a unique ID (common across all IBMsites) - know where its been, where its going and its history

IBM software is used to create and write the ID to all new containers The contents of the container, wafer or recepticle, are associated with the ID in the FactoryControl System's DB2 database

The transponder is read at every processing step to validate that the correct container andmaterial are going to the correct process tool result

$2.5B Corporate 'from scratch' investment in 300mm Manufacturing and Development. Fishkill

then made the decision to use RFID after assessing barcode and infra red systems. The plantneeds to use thousands of different active containers for different functions that are transferredfrom storage area, process tools and manufacturing facilities - all of which are very valuable($1K per container holding goods worth ~$2M). Their challenge was to create a real time,common container tracking system

Fabs moved from infrared systems to RFID allowing real-time vs. point to point tracking of wafercontainers (on average 25 wafers in each container) providing true track/trace capability

RFID enabled increased efficiency, decreased error rates, and reduced labor requirements RFID systems facilitated prioritization of orders, processing of specialty orders, and order routingduring retooling or maintenance accelerating time to market

RFID has enabled IBMs 300mm fab to run with 60 to 70 people compared with an industry average of100 to 120, allowing IBM to add value to its products without necessarily adding cost

With automation enabled by RFID, IBM is able to run the plant with skeleton crew when normally theywould shut it down (e.g. holidays)

IBM provided an end-to-end solution that encompasses: Services to support Philips Semiconductors in the STAR proof of concept project approach will be

delivered during the following project phases (total duration 30 weeks), in particular:Vendor selectionDesign and validationConstruction and testingTargeted launchEvaluation

Intellectual property services components; IBM proprietary radio frequency identification (RFID)framework and documentation

IBM software licences:DB2 UDB Enterprise Edition (including one year maintenance)2 Websphere studio application developers for the proof of concept (including one yearmaintenance)

Solution

Benefits

The objective of the project was to help Philips increase inventory turns. The project providesnear real-time inventory visibility to the Philips Semiconductors business units. It will also enable

changes to policies in production and inventory planning systems which will, in turn, driveincreased inventory turns

The project is initially between the Philips Semiconductors Kaohsiung (PSK) site and theRegional Distribution Center Hong Kong (RDC HK) on all packaged quantities and boxes, allcustomer direct ships (cartons) in AP from the PSK location, all cartons sent from the RDC HK toall destinations and for EXEL (3PL) all outbound flows in Hong Kong

This project will help PSC to further optimize its supply chain and is another step in the route tobecome an on demand company. The savings will be used to reinvest in competitive advantage andgrowth.

The U.S. Department of Defense is dedicated to becoming an early adopter of

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The DoD is currently preparingto read RFID tags at key sites within their supply chain. Beginning January 1,2005, the Department of Defense has mandated that all suppliers place passiveRFID tags at the case, pallet, and Defense Department Unique Identifier (UID)item packing level.

IBM is working with the Department of Defense to:

Develop test pilot milestones and manage test pilot requirementsCreate project metrics and reporting

Build a business case analysis of the overall RFID implementation

Monitor implementation issues and resolution

Assist in the development and release of RFID business rules

Establish commercial best practices

Provide Subject Matter Experts to develop the short term and long termimplementation plan

The Yankee Group ranked IBM # 1 inMarch 2003

IBM ranks first among the enablers of

enterprise mobile computing solutions

IBM also boasts the most successful

professional services business (IBM

Global Services) in the mobile computing

space

A mid-2002 IDC report shows IBM andPwCC Wireless jointly have close to a

30% market share, and whencombined, are over 5 times the nearest

competitors.

IBM Global Services (IGS) is by far the

leading provider of mobile and wireless

professional services. One could beshocked by seeing how far ahead IGS is
