Scoping Out The Real Costs of RFID

E-mail Print PDF

Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of excerpts from an in-depth research report written by the chief information officer at Rock-Tenn Co., have been published by 2004 which mean some figures in this article does not meet the right situation now due to the different developments in the last 7 years and we introduce this article for open discussions

Much of the focus surrounding the cost of RFID has been on the price of RFID chips or tags. But implementing a fully functional RFID system incurs multiple costs, including tags, readers, printers, middleware, infrastructure, consulting, R & D, system changes, implementation, training, change management, and service provider fees. There is also the cost for additional labor that will invariably be needed with today's RFID deployments.

For early adopters, we think it's likely that implementations will prove to be more costly in the beginning stages of adoption, given the likelihood of first-time mistakes and the lack of industry best practices.

Though the range of total investment will vary widely between companies based on many factors, in most cases, companies are looking at investments that can easily reach into millions of dollars. Industry analysts predict that typical, large-scale manufacturers in the consumer goods industry will spend from $9 million to $25 million on RFID mandate compliance.

    Each of the couple's cats has since been equipped with an RFID tag on their coller. When either of the cats near the door , An RFID reader authorizes the cat , while mechanism unlocks the door , allowing the authorized cat to enter. Both the RFID reader and the servo mechanism (it's a motor can move for a step angle to unlock the door, when it recive a signal from the RFID system) are connected to a laptop ,which automatically tweets each time the door is activated .

In which  the United States spent ,$2.26 trillion on health care in 2007, or $7,439 per person, up from $2.1 trillion, or $7,026 per capita, the previous year. Spending in 2006 represented 16% of GDP, an increase of 6.7% over 2004 spending. Growth in spending is projected to average 6.7% annually over the period 2007 through 2017.  AMAZED?.

But , RFID IN REGION caught The Wall Street Journal reported that consumers were reducing their health care spending in response to the current economic slow-down. Both the number of prescriptions filled and the number of office visits dropped between 2007 and 2008. In one survey, 22% of consumers reported going to the doctor less often, and 11% reported buying fewer prescription drugs. as it said.


All of that means that the money is an effective parameter in health care industry ……

RFID IN REGION shows that it has to search ways to ever save money needed to the health care industry.

 

One of them is the RFID solution .HOW?

RFID in health care










How can RFID Save Time and Money in Healthcare?

RFID is becoming a strategic weapon in reducing costs in the healthcare industry. The technology is easily integrated into a hospital’s wireless infrastructure. With a RFID system in place, healthcare facilities can easily track mobile assets as well as staff and patients.    


How does this save time and money?
Healthcare facilities lose thousands of dollars worth of equipment each year and staff members spend countless hours searching for mobile assets such as infusion pumps, x-ray machines, wheelchairs and patient monitoring devices. An RFID tracking system provides the visibility to immediately locate assets and personnel.

 
It's more big than this few words ,But we will keep searching
