3 Reasons Why Organizations Fail Before They Start with RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has proven to be a valuable strategy for various industries, including transportation and manufacturing. Despite its potential for streamlining operations and boosting efficiency, RFID projects are not immune to failure. In fact, many organizations fail to fully realize the benefits of RFID due to common roadblocks in implementation. Here are three key challenges that organizations must overcome to succeed with RFID:
#1 Lack of Understanding:
RFID can be a complex and confusing technology for those who are unfamiliar with it. Without proper training and understanding of how to use RFID in their specific industry and integrate it into existing systems, organizations may miss out on its full potential. This can result in a lack of adoption or an unnecessarily prolonged implementation time frame and ultimately, project failure.
#2 Underestimation of ROI and Value:
RFID technology offers a range of benefits, including increased efficiency and cost savings. However, without a clear understanding of the ROI and value that RFID can bring, organizations may not see the financial or operational benefit in implementing the technology.
#3 Confusion over Hardware Selection:
With a wide range of RFID hardware options available, organizations can become overwhelmed and discouraged when trying to determine the best fit for their specific needs. The cost of RFID hardware can also pose a challenge, making it difficult to determine the projected return on investment (ROI).
MASS Group incorporates its commercial off-the-shelf TME® RFID software and the hardware of some of the largest and best-known RFID suppliers into a full turnkey solution. Before a quote is provided, there is a comprehensive discussion and education session to establish an understanding of the desired goals and outcomes. MASS Group then helps the organization calculate the ROI needed to ensure project success. At that point, hardware and tag options are evaluated for best fit operationally and based on the established ROI. Once all three of these challenges-understanding of RFID capability, proper estimation of ROI, and hardware selection-have been overcome, organizations can tap into the full potential of RFID and revolutionize their operations.
