University of Arkansas Researchers Host RFID in the Cold Chain Seminar at RFID Journal Live

New York (PRWEB) February 26, 2007 -- RFID Journal, the world's leading media and events company covering radio frequency identification (RFID), today announced that it is partnering with the University of Arkansas's RFID Research Center to demonstrate host a preconference seminar, "RFID in the Cold Chain," at RFID Journal LIVE! 2007. The RFID Research Center will also demonstrate five applications of RFID technology in the event's 86,000 sq.-ft. exhibit hall, April 30 to May 2, in Orlando, Florida, at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.

The RFID Research Center is renowned for a seminal study it conducted into the application of RFID technology at Wal-Mart. The study revealed that RFID helped reduce out of stocks by 16 percent across the board and as much as 60 percent on some fast-moving items. The center has built one of the world's most sophisticated RFID labs, with conveyor systems and a simulated store and refrigerators where it tests cold chain applications.

RFID Journal introduced exhibit hall demonstrations at its fourth annual event in 2006, and they were met with great enthusiasm from attendees. This year, the RFID Research Center will run five important demonstrations:

* Using RFID Temperature Sensors
* Optimizing Tag Location On A Carton
* Choosing Stationary Versus Mobile Readers
* Tagging Individual Items
* Leveraging RFID Data

The RFID Research Center is also conducting a pre-conference seminar on April 30th featuring the use of RFID in the Cold Chain. During the seminar, Bill Hardgrave, Director of the RFID Research Center, and Jean-Pierre Emond, Co-director, IFAS Center for Food Distribution and Retailing, University of Florida, will explain the role of RFID in the cold chain and quantify the potential benefits.

Christopher Hook, co-leader of Wireless & Sensor Solutions at Deloitte Consulting, will discuss and introduce the concept of the "intelligent cold chain" as well as provide a general description of using temperature logging RFID tags on fresh produce. He will also present key findings from a temperature monitoring project and observations on what the findings mean to the handling of fresh produce from farm to customer.

David Barrack, senior director of RFID and Sensor Technologies at Sybase-iAnywhere will explain how to develop an IT infrastructure that allows companies to leverage RFID and sensor technologies in the cold chain. Additionally, Richard A, Mosley, systems design and development director at C.H. Robinson Worldwide, a leading third-party logistics provider, will explain how his company is using RFID today to improve cold chain management and deliver value to its customers.

"We are pleased to be working with RFID Journal to educate companies about how RFID can be used successfully today," said RFID Research Center Director Hardgrave. "This is an opportunity for us to showcase the work we've done in the lab and help others to better understand the technology."

"At this early stage of RFID adoption, it's very important to educate people about how and where RFID can be used profitably today," said Mark Roberti, founder and editor of RFID Journal. "Bill Hardgrave and the folks at the University of Arkansas have done tremendous work and our attendees will benefit from both the sessions Bill is involved with and the demonstrations on the exhibit hall floor."
