How RFID works
• Divided into four parts1. A scanning antenna
– Puts out radio-frequency signals– Provides a means of communicating with
the RFID tag– It provides the RFID tag with energy to
communicate
2. A transceiver -reader3. A transponder - the RFID tag4. A writer

RFID at Wal-Mart
• June 2003– Wal-Mart announced that its suppliers would
have to RFID tag crates and pallets as an improvement over barcodes1
– Top 100 suppliers were supposed to comply by January 20052
– Wal-Mart was the first major retailer to demand suppliers use RFID, though the technology is 50 years old2

15
Benefits of RFID for Wal-Mart
• Save billions of dollars in supply chain efficiency1
• Reduce out of stock items– Average U.S. out-of-stock rate: 8%– Estimated potential lost sales from out of
stock items• 3.4% for retailers
• 2.6% for suppliers21) Krotov, V. (2008), “RFID as a Disruptive Innovation,” Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research, Vol. 3, Iss.2, pg. 44, 16 pgs.

18
RFID and Out-Of-Stocks
• University of Minnesota Study
• 24 Wal-Mart stores– 12 RFID enabled– 12 Control stores
• Watched improvements over 29 weeks
• Concluded that RFID is responsible for 21% improvement in out-of-stocks

19
Daisy Brand Dairy Products
• Fully compliant with Wal-Mart’s mandate• Extended RFID into other parts of their business
process as well• Claim that RFID cut in half the time to load delivery
trucks1
• Knows when pallets arrive at Wal-Mart and when they are unloaded
• Can tell if promotions take place as planned2

20
Texas Instruments Inc.
• Fully implemented Wal-Mart’s mandate
• Only uses the technology on shipments going to Wal-Mart– Reduces their hardware investment
• Compliant for under half a million dollars
Gaudin, S. (2008), “Some Suppliers Gain from Failed Wal-Mart RFID edict,” Computerworld, www.computerworld.com, viewed February 25, 2009.
21
Problems with Implementation
• Wal-Mart has had difficulty getting suppliers to implement RFID
• The price is large enough that suppliers are taking their chances with being non-compliant– $15,000-$20,000 just for tags, readers, and
middleware for a small supplier
• They also have to pay for training and handling the new RFID information
Gaudin, S. (2008), “Some Suppliers Gain from Failed Wal-Mart RFID edict,” Computerworld, www.computerworld.com, viewed February 25, 2009.
22
Wal-Mart is Tired of Suppliers Not Taking Them
Seriously• January 2008
– Announced that suppliers will be charged a $2 fee for each pallet shipped to the Sam’s Club distribution center in DeSoto, Texas without an RFID tag1
– Sam’s will then affix a tag to the pallet2
– These tags cost suppliers $.10-.25 per tag– The fee will escalate along with the length
of non-compliance, up to $3 per tag3

New Developments
• January 2009– Wal-Mart requires Chinese suppliers to use RFID tagging to
label shipments • Wal-Mart has 1,000 Chinese suppliers
– Because of recent safety concerns, these Chinese suppliers are required to include information such as their name and factory info, as well as any subcontractors involved in production1
• 2009– RFID tags on individual selling units in Sam’s Club2

“Key drivers for the continued use of RFID technology in the emergency
room”
• ABI research forecasted that in 2007 revenue in RFID software and services would decrease to $3.1 billion, 15% decrease from 2006
• Demand for RFID technology in healthcare has not been very strong • Expectation-confirmation model
(ECM) theory to assert that improving users’ experience with IT can enhance satisfaction and lead to continued usage
• Survey given to 85 caregivers who worked in the ER in 5 hospitals in Taiwan

RFID Adoption in Healthcare
Chen, C., Wu, J., Sheng Su, Y., Yang, S. “Key drivers for the continued use of RFID technology in the emergency room.” Management Research News, Vol.31, Iss.4, pg. 273-288.
Benefits of RFID in hospitals:• Automated admitting • Reduction in medical errors • More efficient screening and treating
processes
When RFID is implemented• Patients can be tracked from time they enter
the hospital to the time they leave• Wristbands are scanned and all medications
can be tracked• Entrance/exit to specific area can be
monitored
36
Results
Chen, C., Wu, J., Sheng Su, Y., Yang, S. “Key drivers for the continued use of RFID technology in the emergency room.” Management Research News, Vol.31, Iss.4, pg. 273-288.
When the following objectives are met an experience with RFID can improve caregiver satisfaction levels
• Caregivers must perceive RFID to be useful• RFID must have good interoperability • RFID must provide some relative advantage
Improved satisfaction leads to continued use
37
RFID and Animals
Livestock tracking- cattle, pigs, and sheep• Used for animal health and wellness, tracking
and tracing, and carcass-quality information• National Animal Identification
System (NAIS) proposed by the USDA in 2003– Producer participation is voluntary
except in MI where cattle have to be tagged in hopes to eradicate bovine tuberculosis
http:www.rfidjournal.com/article.view/3725/2, viewed April 2, 2009
38
RFID and Animals
• In 2007 World RFID spending on farming and animals was $233 million.
• In 2017 it is estimated to reach $2.93 billion
• China is the largest RFID market largely due to animal population– Asian countries are developing
new high frequency tags with 50-400% greater read range.
http:www.rfidjournal.com/article.view/3725/2, viewed April 2, 2009
39
RFID and Animals
• Current tags used– Passive tags, low frequency, with a coil antenna
• Can withstand water and damage
– Must be located within a few inches of the reader so producers have to force animals through checkpoints
– Impossible to read the tags in large numbers simultaneously
• New tag just released Feb. 2, 2009– RFID vendor Digital Angel– Battery-powered r.Tag– Can be read up to 100 ft away and
reader can read up to 310 tags at once
– Weatherproof – Costs about $3.50/tag

40
RFID and Animals
• Humane Society of the US has long been the biggest user of RFID microchips, it tags and scans thousands of animals per year
• Problems occur because the various tags used operate at different frequencies
• Pets are sometimes euthanized before being identified due to this problem
http:www.rfidjournal.com/article.view/1976/1, viewed April 2, 2009
41
Issues
• Research study found that only 13.7% of respondents knew about RFID technology1
• Another study done in 2005 found that approximately 75% of consumers interviewed had no idea what RFID was2
• Often times, consumers are not even aware they are being “tracked” by RFID devices
• At the very least, consumers need a basic idea of what RFID is and does2

2) Glasser, D., Goodman, K., and Einspruch, N. “Chips, Tags and Scanners: Ethical Challenges for Radio Frequency Identification”
42
Tracking
• With RFID, anything can be tracked– Consumer
• Purchases• Spending habits and
preferences– Currency
• Chips embedded into credit cards
– People• Hospital patients,
equipment• State drivers license,
passports
Willey, Lorrie. (2007), “RFID and Consumer Privacy: Let the Buyer Beware!”, Journal of Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues, Vol. 10, Iss. 2; pg. 25, 13 pgs.
43
Privacy
http://sickfacebook.com/images/facebook_privacy.gif
What defines privacy?• Laws will keep changing as society keeps changing
• Why do we care as managers? • Violating privacy of consumers leads to distrust• Benefits of having consumer information leads to competitive advantage and market share
• Viagra• Cheese
• Consumers benefit from the conveniences from better CRM

44
Main Concerns
• Physical – Border security?– Bodily harm?
• Tumors?– Problems in
Hospitals• Malfunctions in
equipments • False alarms
Landro, Laura. (2008), “The Informed Patient: The Hospital Is Watching You”, Wall Street Journal. (Eastern Edition), Nov 12, 2008. pg D.1.
45
State Licenses & Passport Cards
• Enhanced Driver’s Licenses– Available in
Washington since Jan. 2008 and in NY since Sept. 2008
– Other border states – MI, VT, AZ, intend to offer them as well
Naone, Erica. (2009), “RFID’s Security Problem”, Technology Review. Jan/Feb 2009, Vol. 112, Iss.1; pg 72, 3 pgs.
46
State Licenses & Passport Cards
• Cards use electronic product code (EPC) tag, much like bar codes.
• Tags are inexpensive and under ideal conditions can be read from about 150 feet away.
• Identification cards can be read at longer range than many other RFID tags and people are more likely to carry them at all times.
• If you can get identification numbers out of the cards, then its relatively easy to counterfeit them, by loading a stolen ID number onto a blank, off-the-shelf chip.
Naone, Erica. (2009), “RFID’s Security Problem”, Technology Review. Jan/Feb 2009, Vol. 112, Iss.1; pg 72, 3 pgs.
47
State Licenses & Passports
• EPC tags can be disabled when a reader issues a “kill” command.
• Could cause disruption if someone killed a large number of cards in a group.
• Attacker could also use this tactic to harass individuals since a killed card is likely to draw suspicion.
Naone, Erica. (2009), “RFID’s Security Problem”, Technology Review. Jan/Feb 2009, Vol. 112, Iss.1; pg 72, 3 pgs.
48
Consumer Privacy
• CASPIN and American Express
• In 2005, AmEx filed an application with the US Patent Office for a new “Method and system for facilitating a shopping experience” – in other words, would monitor the shopping patterns of its users with respect to time, and location within a store
Razzouk, N., Seitz, V., and Nicolaou, M. (Spring 2008), “Consumer Concerns Regarding RFID Privacy: An Empirical Study”, Journal of Global Business and Technology. Vol. 4, Iss.1; pg. 69, 10 pgs.
49
Consumer Privacy
• Broken Arrow Affair– Wal-Mart in Broken Arrow,
OK and Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, OH - 750 miles away from each other
– Wal-Mart placed technology in stores so that researchers from P&G could detect when Max Factor Lipfinity lipsticks were removed from the shelves
– Once taken from the shelf, a video monitor evaluated how consumers handled the product without their knowledge
Hildner, Laura. (year unknown) “Defusing the Threat of RFID: Protecting Consumer Privacy Through Technology-Specific Legislation at the State Level”, Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, Vol. 41; pg. 133, 44 pgs.
50
Consumer Privacy
Concerns:• Increased threat of identity
theft, and lack of safeguards to protect people’s identities.
• According to Cohen, “the average American is in at least 50 databases… and that’s just counting commercial databases”
Razzouk, N., Seitz, V., and Nicolaou, M. (Spring 2008), “Consumer Concerns Regarding RFID Privacy: An Empirical Study”, Journal of Global Business and Technology. Vol. 4, Iss.1; pg. 69, 10 pgs.
51
The Informed Patient
– Hospitals are relying on electronic tracking systems
• to keep tabs on equipment and lab specimens
– EKG monitors and ventilators so they can readily be located in an emergency
– Surgical sponges so they don’t get sewn up inside patients
• to monitor the location of patients and staff.
– Tagging arriving patients to cut waiting times in emergency rooms
– Tracking employees to help supervisors move them to understaffed areas
Landro, Laura. (2008), The Informed Patient: The Hospital Is Watching You”, Wall Street Journal. (Eastern Edition), Nov 12, 2008. pg D.1.
52
The Informed Patient
• Study published in 2008 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) warned that systems using high-frequency radio waves could interfere with the functioning of medical devices.
– Could stop a hospital pump from operating
– Switch off a ventilator
– Interfere with a pacemaker
“If the risk of patient harm is one in a million but the benefit of using the technology prevents harm to every patient, the hospital needs to carefully assess the balance”. – John Halamka, CIO at Boston’s CareGroup Health Systems
Landro, Laura. (2008), The Informed Patient: The Hospital Is Watching You”, Wall Street Journal. (Eastern Edition), Nov 12, 2008. pg D.1.
53
The Informed Patient
• Number of hospitals in recent years began using RFID tags in maternity units to prevent baby kidnappings.
• In Shawnee Mission, Kansas, a system installed in 2000 would experience interference from cellphones and electrical storms, setting off as many as 100 false alarms a day.
