|  Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) promises to revolutionize the supply chain world. Its hands-free ability to track pallets, cases and items offers the opportunity for both increased operational efficiency and product visibility. These same goals are behind the wave of RFID compliance mandates issued recently by major retailers and the U.S. Department of Defense.
But RFID is still a rapidly evolving technology. Whether your enterprise is seeking to improve operations or comply with a customer mandate, selecting and implementing an RFID solution poses challenges and a certain amount of risk.
As a total supply chain solutions provider, Tompkins Associates is uniquely qualified to help you pursue your RFID, bar coding, voice recognition, or other Auto-ID technology needs. We offer a full suite of operations consulting, software implementation, and systems integration services. While Tompkins maintains active relationships with top-tier Auto-ID hardware and software vendors, we are not a value-added reseller for any product line. This independence allows us to help you choose and implement the right solution for your operations.
Key areas in which Tompkins can provide guidance and support with your RFID and Auto-ID technology needs include:
- Concept design and business case development
- Operational fit analysis/assessment
- Functional specification and detail design development
- Software and hardware vendor selection
- Custom software development
- Product and pilot testing
- Integration and implementation support
- Packaged end-user training
Many Auto-ID projects under perform because they are too focused on technology. Tompkins always leads with operations. We can help you keep the focus where it belongs—on improving operations and supply chain visibility. Our Emerging Technology Center provides both our clients and staff a working warehouse environment where Auto-ID technologies can be compared side by side. At Tompkins, it is not just about hardware and software. We are always focused on the total solution.
