Over the next five years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is likely to have a major impact on any business or enterprise involved in the production, movement or sale of physical goods and Singapore, as a key manufacturing center, world's second busiest port and key logistics hub will be directly affected. RFID is already being adopted by international retailers, including Metro Group and Tesco in Europe and Wal-Mart, Target and Albertsons in the United States; by leading manufacturers, such as Gillette, Hewlett- Packard, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly-Clark, Kraft Foods, Nestle, Procter & Gamble and Unilever; and the US Department of Defense.

As with any new technology, however, businesses face real challenges if they are to benefit from RFID. Much will depend on collaboration between trading partners, suppliers and customers. Standards for RFID are still being developed. Significant investments in hardware, software and human resources are required.

The goal of these training classes is to give executives, managers and those responsible for supervising RFID implementations a strong grounding in the fundamentals of RFID and EPC technologies, so they can evaluate vendors, develop a business case and begin a successful pilot or deployment.
