MAVERICK Makes RFID Work

A 3-Phase Approach to Maximizing ROI

RFID is revolutionizing the supply chain, and offers unprecedented opportunities for your business to realize previously unreachable efficiencies.

By itself, RFID is simply another enabling technology. It is the ability to integrate RFID with your businesses, people and processes that will allow you to realize these efficiencies. MAVERICK works with you to determine where RFID technology adds value to your business, and then to identify the tangible benefits it will produce. This proven process adds value to your business, offers you immediate return and sets the groundwork for a whole new way of doing business in the future.

MAVERICK's 3-phase approach of Compliance, Data Access & Collection, and Optimization can help you reach these goals.

Compliance

Whether your company is required to comply with new customer RFID directives, or you just want to stay ahead of the pack, you need to ensure that you are implementing the right technology not only for today, but for tomorrow as well.

MAVERICK works with you to address the two critical concerns of complying with customer directives:

• Keeping risk to a minimum
• Getting the most out of your investment by implementing the right system for your application.

We have the experience to make certain your technology is compliant and helps you achieve an optimal return on investment.

MAVERICK brings:

• Process Knowledge — We understand the process that enables RFID and bar code technology to work together under the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) umbrella to bring you a total smart packaging solution.
• Technical Knowledge — RFID consists of a system of components — tags, readers, antennae and software — that must be integrated with the client's specific production environment. Using Electronic Product Code (EPC) guidelines as a base, MAVERICK works with you to identify the combination required to comply with new mandates.
• Application Knowledge — Since RFID differs significantly from bar coding, we can help you understand signal characteristics, as well as the impact that the environment and product categories have on designing and implementing a reliable, appropriate system solution.
• Implementation Expertise — Our history of successful implementation makes us the company of choice for RFID expertise.

Data Access and Collection

RFID will produce more data than you've ever expected. Knowing what to do with it and where to put it is the key to using your data productively — and realizing the ROI you want to achieve.

MAVERICK brings:

• Supply Chain Process Capabilities — We understand where the data from the RFID system comes from, what it means, where it needs to go and how it needs to get there.
• Systems Integration — We can seamlessly integrate RFID data with your existing data warehouses, or set up new ones.
• Wide Range of Platform Experience — We can successfully achieve full integration with your existing systems.

Optimization

Once installed and integrated, RFID can be a technology that revolutionizes the way you do business. At this stage, we can show you how to use your data to continually drive better asset utilization, helping you achieve total supply chain visibility.

MAVERICK brings:

• A Forward-Looking Perspective — We understand that adding business value is a continual process in order for your business to stay on the leading edge.
• Operational Consulting — We can help you achieve lean manufacturing with the implementation of tools such as effective Web-based reporting and monitoring.
