Checkpoint’s
OATSystems Division Sponsors RFID Journal
Webinar on Justifying RFID Business Case
With Cost Savings Dec. 17
Experts from Rush Tracking
Systems, OATSystems and RFID Journal To Discuss
How Enterprises Can Recession-Proof RFID Projects
WALTHAM, Mass. – Dec. 9, 2008
-- OATSystems,
a division of Checkpoint
Systems, Inc. (NYSE:
CKP), today announced that it is sponsoring
an RFID Journal Webinar titled Recession-Proof
RFID: Justify Your Business Case with Cost
Savings on Dec. 17, 2008 at
11 a.m. EST.
The webinar is designed to address the needs
of manufacturers and other companies facing
RFID deployment decisions in the most challenging
economic environment of our time. During the
session, experts from Rush
Tracking Systems,
OATSystems and RFID
Journal will discuss best
practices and proven methodologies to identify,
quantify and deliver business results from
RFID investments. By attending this session,
attendees will learn why the cost of waiting
for the economy to improve before adopting
RFID may be higher than the cost of investing
now.
To assist in their evaluations, all attendees
will receive a new interactive ROI calculator.
By inputting their specific business metrics,
users will obtain the real cost-benefit of
an RFID deployment. This tool, based on real
world deployments, will enable companies to
better understand how they can realistically
reduce costs and improve their operating performance
with RFID.
They will also learn how to leverage an enterprise
view to capture the true operational "network
effect" of benefits across multiple lines,
plants or divisions. The strategies discussed
will be supported by several industrial manufacturing
case studies including hard numbers illustrating
the typical benefits, as well as the real
power of RFID is deployed in a single location
or across the enterprise.
Key topics will include the following:
- How to save money and time
by RFID-enabling manufacturing processes.
- How to calculate cost savings
from real-time component, tool, container
and work-in-process tracking.
- How to real-time enable
existing ERP, MES and WMS systems for rapid
deployment.
- Why leading manufacturers
have made critical investments in RFID during
a downturn.
Featured speakers from the three companies
include Toby Rush, president of Rush Tracking
Systems; Alan Sherman, director of marketing
at OATSystems; and Mark Roberti, editor of
RFID Journal.
