RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) {RFS-100}
RFID is a global phenomenon. Driven by mandates from the world's largest retailers and the US Department of Defense, RFID promises to become as ubiquitous in the supply chain as barcodes. Imagine reading product codes from across the factory or warehouse floor while the products are still inside shipping crates. Imagine stores without "Closed for Inventory" signs, out-of-stock conditions, and even checkout counters. Already, businesses worldwide are deploying RFID, or evaluating how to do so. Setting up RFID-equipped supply chains that will read "every product code, every time, at every stage, under all conditions" is a daunting, disruptive task. It requires individuals who can plan, install, optimize and maintain RFID systems. And Heathkit has created a course to provide the needed knowledge to RFID technicians.
