Opening Keynote Session: DoD's AIT Implementation Plan - The RFID Roadmap
Speaker:
Mr. David L. Dias, Chief, Asset Visibility Divison, USTRANSCOM/TCJ5/4-I
RFID and AIT are key enablers poised to deliver on the promise of DoD Distribution and Supply Chain Transformation. As Distribution Process Owner, USTRANSCOM has published a new concept of operations and is working with the Military Services and Agencies to expand the implementation vision for AIT and RFID, energizing integration across Supply Chain Business processes. Mr. Dias will address the vision and ongoing efforts to transform support for the DOD Enterprise. |

The Policy Update
Speaker:
Ms. Kathy Smith, Special Assistant, Department of Defense, Office of the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, Supply Chain Integration
The Department of Defense’s Supply Chain Integration Office is responsible for development and maintenance of RFID policy for DoD’s entire supply chain and the communities that support the supply chain. The Supply Chain Integration Office has partnered with the US Transportation Command to ensure the DoD supply chain successfully transitions to RFID-enabled business processes to reap the operational efficiencies of RFID. Ms. Smith will address the ongoing RFID policy requirements for RFID relevant to DoD suppliers and the acquisition and logistics communities. |

Panel Discussion: Paul Varian,
PEO Robotics/Joint Robotics
Command; Steve Buerle, Unisys; Brian Quinn, Lockheed Martin
Session Close: Susan Pearson, RFID Solutions Center
Much of the focus around RFID has been on the visibility it provides for assets moving through the supply chain. But the benefits of RFID don't stop there. in this workshop you will learn, first hand, from those currently using RFID in such applications as asset tracking and work in process monitoring, what the current state of RFID technology and deployment is, how to turn data into real intelligence, and how to utilize RFID enabled systems to augment your business processes. |

Roll Up Your Sleeves: Developing Your Action Plan
Speakers:
Dave Frenkel, Director, Business Development, RFID4U
Carl Brown, President, Simply RFID
Jeff Tazelaar, Lowry Computer Products
Want to create an action plan to implement RFID? Attend this interactive workshop to learn more about RFID technology – ask your key questions and learn how you can utilize RFID not only to meet the DoD requirements, but to enhance your operational efficiencies. Understand which units need an RFID tag, what type of information should be encoded on the tag, and how to submit information through Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF). Various compliance options will be presented and you will be provided with a checklist so you can begin implementing RFID. |
