RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is at the very heart of the next stage of the evolution of the Internet. If broadband connectivity represents the last mile of connectivity, then RFID represents the last INCH and will bring to life the much touted “Internet of Things”. RFID is now being rolled out to production environments across a multitude of industries such as CPG (Consumer Product Goods) Supply Chains, Automotive Manufacturing, Aerospace, Health Care, Pharmaceuticals and others. It is a technology perfectly suited to enhance visibility and automation in the supply chain, help improve patient care in hospitals, provide real time visibility of high value assets, etc. The rapidly growing number of uses for RFID technology and the many commercial factors driving the adoption of the technology are creating an ever increasing demand for trained and certified professionals who can evaluate, implement, maintain and troubleshoot RFID systems. RFID on the Web™ is the most comprehensive online course on RFID in the market today. It is comprised of 70 hours of high quality, graphical, interactive training for the online student. Taking the course DEMO will highlight the many interactive features found in RFID on the Web such as links on each screen which provide definitions or additional explanations, the “O-tag” which provides more in-depth explanations of important concepts, a comprehensive Glossary of RFID Terms and the OTA RFID Acronym Finder™. These features, coupled with Knowledge Assessments and Practice Tests, are presented in the framework of a real world RFID implementation and provide the student with the most engaging and information retentive environment possible.
Most importantly, the course will provide the student with the information and practice exams necessary to sit for the CompTIA™ RFID+ certification exam as well as the knowledge and information necessary to evaluate and implement RFID technology in various application scenarios including supply chain logistics, manufacturing process improvement, health care, pharmaceutical authentication and many more.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Understand how an RFID system operates
- Understand the different frequency ranges for RFID and how to select which one is appropriate for a particular use case
- Determine what type of tag is required for a particular application
- Perform tag placement testing on various products
- Understand how to install, optimize, and troubleshoot an RFID read zone
- Identify and select the appropriate type of RFID printer and Label Applicators
- Identify what types of feedback systems may be necessary
- Understand issues around data management and integration approaches
- Understand best practices around interrogation zone implementation
- Understand some of the main standards and regulations around RFID
