  1. Microsoft Platform for RFID and Real World Scenarios Jeff Johnson (jejohns@microsoft.com) Technical Specialist Microsoft

  2. Agenda • Microsoft Vision for RFID Platform • Real World RFID Applications • Microsoft RFID Platform • Demonstration

  3. Vision & Scope for Integration

  4. BizTalk RFID in the RealWorld RTI Asset Security Supply Chain In Store Asset Visibility Doc Tracking Supply Chain Access Mobile

  5. Supply Chain KMM Supply Chain Optimisation “We can watch Boeing’s back and it can watch ours, because we’ll have visibility into Boeing’s consumption of our product. We can then match our production line and inventory associated with it.” Dan Hedger, President Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing • Needed to track inventories in real-time • Needed warehouse system validation for item, lot and serial numbers and quantities • Lacked real-time visibility into it production processes • Needed to comply with Just-In-Time (JIT) initiatives from larger partners like Boeing • Send variable data from SQL to embed data into RFID tags • BizTalk Server RFID pick-up & ship integrated with Dynamics GP to share real-time data with Boeing • Produced and managed standard EDI documents --Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) 850, 856, needed to trade successfully with large supply chain partners like Boeing • Overall production cycle time cut in half • 35% reduction in time required to fabricate an assembly • 71% reduction in the production to shipment cycle time • Cut more than $120,000 in real estate costs • Eliminated need for a third-party value-added network

  6. KMM: How it Works (Order to Ship) Customer KMM WIP Status Order ASN Status updates To SharePoint Printable RFID Label Traveler TAG Shipping Label Readers

  7. Asset Security Wells Fargo: Asset Security “Slips of paper and unwanted equipment that people throw away should not hold the keys to their savings and financial secrets…“ President George Bush as he signed a new law intended to protect Americans from identity theft • Thousands of IT hard drive assets containing highly sensitive customer and corporate information • Inefficient means of tracking Laptop Assets with sensitive data. • Inability to ensure end of life drives were properly destroyed created • 5 high profile breeches in 2 years, consumer outrage • Developed special use passive RFID tags to place on all hard drives and laptops • Installed special use readers at various entry / exit choke points • Deployed XAM – Asset Management solution to track the lifecycle of the corporate assets • Automated Hard Drive Refurbishing and Destruction Processes • Established a corporate risk mitigation strategy to protect corporate and consumer • Greatly curtailed asset loss and ensured end of life assets were destroyed • Improved employee awareness and automated the tracking of laptops leaving a facility • Lowered corporate risk profile

  8. Turn Style Laptop Tracking Application • Tracks Laptop assets as they leave • Guards to identify “high risk” assets • Compare owner picture with person leaving the facility • Investigate exceptions Delivering the Power of Clarity™

  9. Mobile “Our maintenance and quality control personnel find that the solution built on BizTalk RFID Mobile has accelerated inspections by 5 to 15 percent.” Andrew Stephen, Works Manager, Score Group plc Engineering firm uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to automate inspections • Streamline onshore and offshore valve inspections • Facilitate data analysis and the exchange of information for employees and customers • Minimize manual data entry • Engaged IDBLUE to deploy an automated valve- inspection solution built with Microsoft® BizTalk® RFID Mobile and the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework • Issued Windows Mobile® devices to employees • Sped valve inspections up to 15 percent • Improved data accuracy • Increased office productivity 5–15 percent • Provided for future innovation

  10. RTI Customer Scenario: iGPSBackground • Problem Statement: • Reusable Transport Items (RTI) Inventory Management • Need for 100% item level visibility • Fact based usage transactions • Requirements: • Production Solution vs. Pilot • Application/Solution must provide scalability to 100’s of sites and >100 million assets
