RFID Essentials Web-based Training Helps End Users Find the ROI

Learn RFID - On Your Schedule, from Anywhere

RFID Essentials is an interactive, Web-based training tool that helps end-user organizations jumpstart their radio frequency identification (RFID) projects and think more creatively about how they can use the technology--by getting project team members up to speed early in the planning process. In about eight hours, at your pace, you can acquire working knowledge of RFID technology and how to apply it profitably.

This RFID training is ideal for information technology, finance, operations, engineering, and sales professionals who want to familiarize themselves with RFID technology without spending days in a classroom or weeks reading.

In the early stages of RFID adoption, many organizations find themselves "stuck in the weeds", unable to find the ROI and mobilize employees around a project.  RFID Essentials helps these organizations move forward by rapidly familiarizing employees with RFID technology, how to identify the most promising applications, how to measure a project's financial contribution, and how to systematically plan an implementation. 

 

 

This virtual workshop will prepare you to:

  • Identify and rank potential RFID applications in your enterprise
  • Choose the right RFID architecture for an application
  • Choose vendors and evaluate their recommendations more objectively
  • Develop an effective business case for an application
  • Systematically plan a pilot RFID project
  • Take the CompTIA RFID+ Certification exam, when combined with a study guide

“RFID Essentials is an excellent learning tool for end-user companies piloting or rolling out RFID applications. Because it’s online and very visual, it’s well adapted to global companies. My team particularly liked its imaginative, interactive exercises. The final exam is challenging, but a good measure of a person’s readiness to plan a pilot.”
