22 RFID Landscape Implementation Approach RFID Technology RFID Case Study

23 Case Study: Pacific Cycle Consumer Goods meeting Wal-Mart Compliance Leading Edge implementer of technology Started piloting one year ago Majority of product is large and cumbersome Specific sku s are all metal (wagons) Pacific Cycle was working with SAMSys reader company who recommended an integrator to assist with the project. Wanted on-site testing of their product with the following technology: SAMSys Reader Alien Class 1 Squiggle tags Printronix RFID printer SAP AG 2005, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 23

24 Environmental RFID testing SAP AG 2005, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 24

25 Case Study Environment 1. Very limited staging area Readers on dock doors would read product in staging 2. Fork truck drivers drove at high speeds Causing missed reads of pallets Driver was physically on the truck before lights were illuminated 3. Very low read rates on the metal products (wagons) SAP AG 2005, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 25

26 Pacific Cycle Solution Devices WAS Device Controler AII 2.1 R/3 RFID Readers Master Data Tag Commissioning I/O Controlers EPC Number Range Mgmt Light Stacks Handheld Terminals Priinter RF Transactions Device Mgmt Readers I/O Controllers Printing RF Transactions Reporting from BW User Exit Printing RFC R\3 Interface SAP AG 2005, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 26

30 Case Study Project Status 5 week project Project Go Live March 14th Installed AII 2.1 fully integrated into R/3. Visibility across supply chain utilizing AII Current RFID technology platform Matric 0+ tags Matric DC400 readers Zebra Printers Symbol Readers SAP AG 2005, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 30

31 Case Study Lessons Learned 1. Pilot was a learning experience Tagging on outside corrugate did not meet Pacific Cycle s vision. Would not provide down-line visibility from Wal-Mart as product is unpackaged. 2. Modified Pilot multiple times In an effort to identify the ROI in the supply chain 3. Use established hardware 3. Continued to test and implement new technology as it was introduced into the market. Tag types Antenna configurations Readers SAP AG 2005, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 31

32 The Plan Moving Forward MUST MOVE THE TECHNOLOGY INTO THE MANUFACUTRING PLANTS IN CHINA TO RECEIVE ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT Tag must be placed on warranty paperwork attached to each product Visibility to Store Level SAP AG 2005, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 32
