1 Raising the Bar[Code]: The Value of the EPCglobal Network and RFID Technology Edmund W. Schuster MIT Data Center Stuart J. Allen Professor Emeritus Penn State University David L. Brock MIT Data Center March 2, 2006 Corresponding Author
2 I. Prospectus Description The EPCglobal Network and RFID technology, initially developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and licensed in October 2003 to Global Standards I (GS1), holds great promise for transforming business through the use of lowcost, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to improve information flow and productivity. Through the placement of tags on individual items, cases, and pallets, RFID Technology will provide instant two-way communication within supply chains by merging information with physical goods. The EPCglobal Network uses the Internet to transmit data gathered from RFID tags as well as a sophisticated information infrastructure designed at MIT. Recent manufacturing advances that include fluidic and vibratory assembly and printable circuits provide the prospect for drastically reducing the cost of RFID tags, allowing for a greater number of applications in business. An important outgrowth of the research at MIT is the Electronic Product Code (EPC) that allows for the unique identification of any object. The EPC has many advantages and will serve as an alternative to established bar code technology during the coming years. Our book will serve as a professional text that introduces the EPCglobal Network and RFID technology to a general audience in business, including directors and senior managers of companies. As such, the book will be a broad overview with focus on communicating concepts, structure, applications, and the importance of the technology. There will be reduced focus on technical details more appropriate for computer science or other publications. The writing is direct and typical of the business-oriented press with an emphasis on blending engineering and computer science principals along with a journalistic view of developments as RFID moves into wide-scale practice. 2
3 Researchers at MIT and managers in business believe that the initial adoption of RFID Technology will come from firms involved with logistics and supply chain management. This comprises a large subsection of American business, including both consumer and industrial goods manufacturing. The book includes information about how RFID Technology changes the supply chain and logistics practices for these firms. Since the EPCglobal Network and RFID Technology are approaching widespread commercial application, it is imperative that we get the book published to take advantage of this emerging trend. Wal-Mart, the Department of Defense, and the Food and Drug Administration have all expressed interest in various applications of RFID Technology. Because of this interest, and the substantial marketing effort initiated since 1999 by the MIT Auto-ID Center, the time is right for publishing a general book on the subject. Many believe the tipping point for wide-scale RFID applications will be mid Outstanding Features Our book concentrates on communicating the principles of EPCglobal Network and RFID Technology through our own experience in researching and developing the technology. This perspective is unique in that only a few have comprehensive knowledge rooted in practice. Readers of the book will benefit from many years of our collective experience. In this way, the book will provide readers with an effective means to learn about the technology and to understand how it will affect their businesses. Competition Research on RFID technology began at MIT in 1999, so it remains a new development. Others have worked with RFID Technology during the past twenty years, however, these efforts do not include manufacturing of low cost tags or the information 3
4 infrastructure and standards developed by MIT. Few high quality application papers exist in the literature. There are no academic or professional books on the subject specific to the MIT Auto-ID effort. Further, there are few books directed to a general audience that provide a single source of information about the potential of RFID Technology in practice. With detailed knowledge and hands-on experience in researching and developing Auto-ID Technology at MIT, we have an intellectual advantage over other authors in the area. Examples of competing books include: 1. RFID Handbook : Fundamentals and Applications in Contactless Smart Cards and Identification (Hardcover) by Klaus Finkenzeller Hardcover: 446 pages Publisher: John Wiley & Sons; 2 edition (May 9, 2003) 2.

RFID (McGraw-Hill Networking Professional) (Hardcover) by Steven Shepard Hardcover: 352 pages Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional; 1 edition (August 16, 2004) 10. RFID Journal From the website, RFID Journal is an independent, online daily devoted to one thing: educating business people about radio frequency identification and its many business applications. The Journal was launched on March 1, 2002, in the belief that RFID is an important technology that is ready for widespread adoption. Companies need a way of capturing accurate, real-time information about the products they make, move, and sell. RFID offers that capability, and while it has been too expensive for some applications, costs are coming down, standards are being adopted, and the capabilities of the products are improving. Apparatus The book uses a direct prose style. It includes actual case studies, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography. Business publications such as Barron s, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The Economist, Forbes, Technology Review and Business Week are included as part of the bibliography. A glossary of terms has already been assembled. The structure of the book comes from approximately 70 technical articles published by the MIT Auto-ID Center along with a number of articles published by the 5
6 authors. Though these articles will serve as a base, we wrote each chapter from scratch using the references. This book is not an edited proceeding. After publication of the book, we intend to prepare a set of PowerPoint presentations and class notes for two purposes: 1) To entice some adoption of the book by the academic market, specifically schools of business. 2) Instructor materials for a professional course on the EPCglobal Network and RFID Technology delivered by non-profit groups such as the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) or the Council of Logistics Management (CLM). This might also be part of certification programs. In terms of length, the current manuscript is 63,000 words (base manuscript without glossary) with the option of adding six chapters (estimated to be another 16,000 words) by March 20, The book should be hardbound, with references numbered in the text and appearing at the end of the book by chapter. The current manuscript contains diagrams with some needing modification. Several pictures are also used. Audience The book will serve as a professional source, so the primary audience will be people in business. We anticipate that all disciplines of business will be interested in our book. Those working in logistics, operations, or supply chain management will be especially interested because these areas will be impacted first by RFID Technology. 6
7 The book is descriptive in nature; containing a strong narrative of technical aspects in clear prose. In this regard, the book is a translation of the meaning of the EPCglobal Network and RFID Technology to people in business. There will be no advanced mathematical or computer science requirements, however, readers will be expected to understand the basics of computer and Internet technology. Market Considerations We expect the market for this book to be substantial. Our minimum sales target is 15,000 copies, depending on retail pricing and distribution. We base this forecast on the following justifications. The MIT Auto-ID Center has received nearly $30 million dollars in funding from industry. There were over 100 corporate members of the Center. Companies include Wal-Mart, Proctor & Gamble, Gillette, and Unilever that represent billions of dollars in annual revenue. The Center had a mix of sponsors including consumer good manufacturers, industrial firms, retailers, consulting companies, hardware vendors, and chip manufacturers. In addition, the MIT Auto-ID Center has established research labs overseas including, the University of Cambridge in the UK, the University of Adelaide in Australia, Keio University in Japan, the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, Fudan University in China, and a laboratory established in S. Korea. An academic alliance exists that spans beyond these institutions and includes several symposiums held around the world. These organizations and their customers provide a solid market for the book because all employees, vendors and academics will need a quick reference to find out about the trends in RFID Technology. Beyond technical representatives from these organizations, few in industry or academia have a coherent view of RFID or the implications that the 7
8 technology possesses. With powerful organizations such as Wal-Mart mandating the use of RFID, there will be a continuing need for information on the topic. In addition, we are deeply involved in a number of organizations that offer great potential as a source of sales. For example, the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) alone has 50,000 members. With over 20 years of membership and participation in leadership committees, we have a high level of name recognition. Other organizations such as the Council for Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS) also provide many opportunities for book sales. With supplemental teaching materials, the book will also find some sales in the academic market, specifically in schools of business. Targets include marketing departments, logistics, supply chain and operations management, and accounting. Campus bookstores are always a good source of ongoing sales. Finally, GS1 has over 850,000 member companies doing business in more than 25 major industries. This provides perhaps the largest general market for our book. Besides these markets, the authors have high visibility web sites containing posted research material, and extensive contacts overseas including Asia where the EPCglobal Network and RFID Technology has great potential. The authors also have done speeches and seminars on the topic. Finally, the book references a number of leaders in the field of RFID technology along with the contributions from MIT Alumni. The book should be popular among students and alumni of MIT. 8
9 Status of the Book We have already completed the core of the book (71,000 words including the glossary). This manuscript could be published as a complete work. There are an additional six chapters that we wish to add. It is our opinion that this addition would be valuable because most of the material is case study and application oriented. Of the six chapters, there are drafts of four. Estimated length including the additional chapters would be 98,000 words. All chapters will be complete by March 20, Reviewers A number of graduate students and others have already reviewed the manuscript. Additional reviewers, if needed, might include: Sanjay Sarma Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology Donald F. Biggs Director, Sales Logistics Welch s, Inc. Concord, MA. II. Table of Contents (TOC) The core manuscript, which is already finished, constitutes a complete work. The TOC is as follows: Chapter 1 Introduction 2,300 words, 19 citations Chapter 2 The History of Technological Innovations 2,500 words, 25 citations Chapter 3 - Tags and Readers 3,100, citations to be added Chapter 4 Infrastructure 3,100 words, 24 citations Chapter 5 - Location 1,900 words, 5 citations 9
