RFID Revolution and on+qor – a division of All-Pak, are partnering to offer RFID Essentials, a leading-edge Web-based training course that provides working knowledge of radio frequency identification technology (RFID).
RFID Revolution’s RFID Essentials training course helps users not only learn about RFID technology, but also how to apply it in their enterprise, assess its financial contribution, and plan a pilot. The entire course takes about eight hours to complete, and includes an optional final exam. Passing the exam, which tests applied knowledge, validates an individual’s preparedness to plan a pilot application of the technology in his or her enterprise. Because it’s available on the Internet, learners proceed at the own pace and schedule, from anywhere.
“on+qor’s track and trace solutions offer individual item-level serialization. Often, that unique, item-level information is carried by RFID tags either in or on products,” says Leslie Downey, Principal of RFID Revolution. “For their solutions to be implemented and utilized, it’s extremely important for on+qor’s brand owner customers to have a solid working knowledge of RFID technology.”
“The RFID Essentials course is designed specifically for end-user companies in the exploration or early adoption phase,” said Dave McCarty, on+qor Business Development Manager, Brand Protection. “It’s a perfect fit for our customers’ managers and team members who are making decisions about implementing an RFID-based track and trace solution, and are interested in developing a better understanding of the technology. When customers finish the course, they are able to collaborate and plan effectively, as well as evaluate other RFID-enabled solutions.”
RFID Essentials was designed to get professionals in end-user companies up to speed on the basics quickly and economically. The course was developed in collaboration with top industry experts with years of field implementation experience. It’s highly interactive and visual, with an abundance of simulated applications in which learners test their understanding. One case study involves a project team comparing the financial contribution of two alternative applications of RFID. As a member of the team, the learner thinks through the ways each application adds cost, saves cost, or contributes to revenue.
