Here are some additional discussion Topics & Items for us to consider, for our upcoming RFID SEVT Meeting Agenda in October 2015, and/or our Monthly Team Calls - as follows: -
On our fixed readers perhaps worth wile to bring up the Zebra visibility platform we can leverage to get a broader solution pitch in particular in industrial manufacturing / automotive … (might secure deals like the +3 mio Al Tayer in UAE deal through the channel.
Are any talks going on between the BU and the Zatar team to get our RFID hardware connected into Zatar platform ?
If not are they aware of a UK Company 'RedBite' ? As we are in an early engagement with them to explore how we can leverage their competences and get our fixed readers hooked up to the cloud – ultimate objective would be to have them develop the agent that would sit on the reader (potentially factory default available ?) so the units can easy be connected to the cloud when/where needed.
Use cases / experiences / demo on reading sensor tags be it full passive (such as Farsens) or BAPT (such as CAIN).
As you know, I have already posted my suggestions for our upcoming RFID SEVT Summit in September - to list my recommended Agenda Items & Discussion Topics for us.
Also, here are my additional suggestions for our RFID Summit for you - for some extra Agenda Items & Discussion Topics (RFID Questions, to cover in our Summit) - as follows: -
Any plans for integrated RFID Android devices?
Future BT connected readers e.g. RFID read capability in next get RS507?
Competitive benchmark figures- where are these posted?
RFID demo apps for both fixed and handheld readers to make POC.
Use cases/success stories
Update on standards Gen2 etc.
Portfolio & Roadmap incl Printing part
SDK?
3RD party equipment
Antenna guide deep dive
Cross portfolio POC with Printing
For our upcoming RFID SEVT Summit in September, please can I suggest the following Topics / Items for discussion within our RFID Summit: -
1). 'Major Recent Wins within Retail' – perhaps Pankaj can provide the references and ROI Data.
2). 'RFD8500', which brings excellent performance. As the TC55 is supported at launch. For example, on a 3000 item test, it has missed only one tag. Plus it will have NFC Pairing
3). 'Antennas': - As this part of our Portfolio doesn’t get the most focus that is deserves. Can we get Antennas outside our current Portfolio (if needed), to help to win a POC?
4). 'RFID Competition': - For example, NordicID Medea. (Especially as the last Tesco benchmark seems to prove this is a bad device).
5). 'TSL - and, the status of our other 3rd Party RFID Suppliers, of Accessories & Specialist RFID parts' - Especially as TSL is more of a competitor to us now.
Many Thanks,
Please pick dates that dont interfere with the App Forum, 9/21-9/23
I would suggest the following topics on the SEVT RFID Summit:
-Deep dive on the HW product line
-Roadmap on software - Session 1, demo sfw, etc
-Overview/deep dive on antenna's
-RFD8500
-Have each person share a story, good or bad on an implementation they have done
-How each SE can get a reader, printer, and tags to use
I would suggest the following topics on the SEVT RFID Summit:
1. Roadmap update 18 months (What about the Fixed RFID readers that monitors a whole store?)
2. In-depth competitive analyses especially agains Nordic ID (Main competitor especially for Mobile RFID).
3. Update session regarding Software development tools and options for RFID
4. How to configure and tune RFID demo's / tests with Zebra RFID readers (especially mobile)
5. Discussion: how to create Better / modern look and feel for Mobile and fixed RFID demo's
6. RFID Business development in Europe (besides couple of large retailers)
7. In-depth hands-on on RFD8500 and get a demo/test unit per RFID SEVT lead
8. Share business case/(potential) projects: SE's, product managers and Engineers
9. How can we cooperate in Global projects?
Roadmap
Advantages over competitors (And how to deal our weak points)
General RFID Zebra Offer (Fixed Readers, SLEDS, HH with RFID, non UHF offer, HF, LF, from Psion)
Global Portfolio integration
Deployment Best practices
Business Cases
Implementation of EPC Gen2V2 in our products
Lack of products in our portfolio (Fixed reader with integrated Antenna, Array readers, Veichle readers)
Ideas of new products (Wearable RFID reader)
Software tools for demonstration and site survey
Development of embedded demos (like we have in FX9500) for FX7500
Comparatives with our competitors
Presentation of cases of each region
Discussion about RFID Middleware (Should we develop? Could us make a partnership to offer some (as we do with MDM)?
Use cases and how RFID could help (or not) each one
Demonstrations
RFID demo applications both for fixed and mobile readers.
How to make a successful demo to partners/customers with demo tools.
Use cases and won stories
Interfacing with main applications (Websphere etc.)
ISVs that our customers can make benefit with them.
Complementary products which we're not offering like portals, special type tags etc.
Discussion or info sharing for how to develop new partners. Required trainings.
Update on standards Gen2 etc.
Our unique features or weak points of portfolio.

Hi the roadmap, but also the list of the most popular devices and there verticals.

RFID demo applications both for fixed and mobile readers are key in my book.
