1、ATIS-0300110 ATIS Standard on Business Case for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in Communications Service Provider Warehouses Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions Approved June 8, 2017 Abstract This document is a business case for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in communic
2、ations service provider warehouse. ATIS-0300110 ii Foreword The Alliance for Telecommunication Industry Solutions (ATIS) serves the public through improved understanding between carriers, customers, and manufacturers. The Automatic Identification bulk reads on bulk containers. Use parent-child relat
3、ionship in the database along with bar codes and RFID. Bulk Containers use parent-level ID, either bar code and/or RFID. Question 2: What type of tag should the manufacturer put on the plug-in cards? To benefit from longer distance reads, UHF technology is the best technology to use; the benefit of
4、course is to increase the number of reads per area instead of requiring the need to see or be on top of the tag. Bar code requires line-of-sight, and high frequency (HF) requires a read distance of approximately four inches. A site audit would be greatly beneficial in the recommendation of the techn
5、ology. As there are many items to count, UHF RFID technology is expected to provide the shortest tag read time. Question 3: Should communications processes use: (1) tags embedded in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB); (2) RFID tags as labels on the product; or (3) RFID tags attached (hanging) to the pr
6、oduct? This can only be professionally answered with a site audit and some basic testing. However, some notes from prior experience: o RFID tags inside of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protective packaging have not proven to be 100% feasible. This is dependent on the type of materials used to manufa
7、cture the bag. See Annexes C and D for testing of various types of ESD packaging. o Most people want to have the end item tagged; however, tagging the end item does not always fit every use case in the supply chain. If the requirement is to reduce item level shrink and/or create full pedigree of the
8、 item this will be beneficial, however one may not be able to take advantage of this tag during every use case in the products lifecycle. o Hanging tags work well in static situations. However, for products that move constantly, these are burdensome to manage. o Tags as labels on bags or packages do
9、 seem to provide the best benefit for most use cases. However, they do not guarantee that the item in the bag is in fact represented by the label on the bag. Empty bags and packages may also cause issues. o The reading surface required for reading tags for installed inventory (end edge) is generally
10、 different than the surface required for logistical reading (broad side). Tags on printed circuit boards address this concern best as dual antenna structures can be part of the design. However, due to shielding, tags are likely not readable when the plug-in card is inserted in the shelf. o To accomp
11、lish acceptable read rates for both logistical and inventory processes, dual tagging (end item and packaging) should be considered. It should be understood that in addition to the added tag cost, dual tagging creates more system complexity, which must be considered against the benefits of dual taggi
12、ng. Question 4: Can tags be read through ESD packaging? ATIS-0300110 7 Not all bags are created equal. See Annexes C and D. Experience with ESD bags is varied. Note that if bags are changed, it may impact the performance. Purchasing people do not necessarily ask if RFID works on the bags they purcha
13、se. This should be stated as a requirement in procurement contracts. Question 5: Is there a system in which the return on investment (ROI) is one year? Assuming that there is no savings in all receiving and put away operations, although there would most likely be, it is difficult to understand the c
14、ost. Assuming that there is some savings in shipping, as the largest cost to shipping is finding an item, and the technology could help reduce the time spent finding items to ship. The first cost associated with the project is the labeling of items with RFID. Potential cost = 575,000 items * $0.20 p
15、er tag/item = $115,000 for tags. The cost of tagging equates to the available budget for the project in one year. It is difficult then to accomplish a one year ROI unless a full audit is completed and other functions benefit from the technology. Please keep in mind that any project of this scope wou
16、ld require the use of at least a hand held RFID scanner, software, and systems integration not to mention some training and installation charges. 4.3 Supplier will user memory be used? See ATIS-0300096. 5.1.4 Environmental 1. In what environment(s) will the tag be scanned? 2. In each environment, wh
17、at is the minimum required tag reading range? 3. In each environment, will tagged product be clustered (50+) together with the expectation of reading all tags in a tight group? 4. In each environment, what percentage of misreads/non-reads is acceptable? 5. Verify the tags shelf life within a specifi
18、c temperature and humidity range is sufficient. 6. Will the product be tagged with the expectation of reading it through the packaging material for transportation needs? 5.1.5 Logistical 1. Does the tag need to contain the serial number or other variable data of the product on which it is attached?
19、2. If the serial number of the tagged unit cannot be programmed into the tag, is a (RFID tag ID) to (unit serial number) cross reference required? 3. What process takes place when a misread/non-read occurs? 4. If the product is not intended to be scanned in service, is a box-only tag acceptable? 5.
20、Will both the product and its packaging have its own RFID tag? 5.1.6 Implementation 1. Can tag placement be secured to achieve 100% reading of tags? 2. Can tag placement be different for products and packages? 3. Can a standard test environment/set of criteria be defined, under which the tags must b
21、e readable? 4. Can reader equipment be configured to enable 100% reading of tags? a. Some ESD bags and other metallic materials that interfere with radio frequency signals may prevent reading of the tags. b. Some testing has shown that the number of antennas around the reading area will increase the
22、 read rate, such as using a tunnel (antennas on four sides of the read area). 5. Can the reader equipment know that it has read 100% of the tags? One method to validate 100% tag reading is to synchronize the suppliers database with the service providers (could use Advanced Ship Notice ASN informatio
23、n). 6. How will applications know that there is (new) information available (above minimum requirements) and know where to place/use it (e.g., repair date, Product Change Notice PCN, disposition codes)? 7. What are the fallback technologies and concepts? Consider using existing bar code and 2D symbo
24、ls as well as RFID. ATIS-0300110 10 8. Consider how RFID tags are applied to packages and shipments to ensure readability and layering of technologies. Provide guidelines to ensure tags are applied to adjacent sides of packages using multiple redundant tags. 9. What to do with products and packages
