Self issue and me, before RFID
• Working at UHL• Implementing Self
Issue• Working with EM
Tags• Lessons Learnt• Walsall and learning
from the past

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of RFID
• Good: Makes self issue easy and has long term potential
• Bad: Not as secure as EM and costs more
• Ugly: Tags are visible and easily spotted

Self-Issue and RFID
• Self issue:– Really a 24 hour
Service– Meeting Expectations– Staff time
• Why RFID: – Ease of Reader Use– Cost– It works– User statistics

Bids, Pit Falls and Reps
• Sales Reps (heroes and villains!)
• Get them to visit• Make sure you get Like
for Like Bids• RFID does it match
International Standards?• Compatible with Other
people’s Products?• Works with your LMS?• Speaking to existing
owners/site visits• Research
