RFID Consulting
Spurred by short-term requirements for tagging and
long-term opportunities for improved visibility, many industries are
implementing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in their
supply chains. VeriSign has played a leading role in helping these
companies design and implement comprehensive plans that start with near-term
requirements and challenges, but build a foundation for longer-term
benefit.
RFID-Enabling Supply Chains
Our consulting services help suppliers RFID-enable
their physical supply chains to meet mandate requirements while building
a foundation of data to drive business benefits. VeriSign has
designed, deployed and managed RFID technology and systems for many
of the leading Global 2000 companies in the retail, consumer products,
manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries. With over 40 RFID engagements,
our clients include a top 5 U.S. retailer, several of Wal-Mart’s top
suppliers, and a $40 billion leader in the pharmaceuticals industry.

Advanced RFID Pilots and Deployments
Several progressive companies within retail and pharmaceuticals
have moved beyond basic RFID deployments to begin to explore the benefits
of serialized identification.
Item-Level RFID in Retail
Driven by urgent needs to improve store-level operations
and inventory management, a handful of retailers have launched pilots
to quantify the benefits of tagging products at the item level.
VeriSign has helped many of these companies to develop a strategy, deploy
the technology, and analyze the results.
In-Line Tagging for Pharmaceuticals
Within the pharmaceutical industry, initiatives such
as pedigree, product authentication and counterfeit reduction have many
exploring the role of RFID. The first challenge these companies
face is the process engineering around tagging containers of drugs within
high speed packaging facilitates. VeriSign is actively involved
in several projects with leading manufacturers to address this challenge
and begin exploring the benefits of full track and trace within the
pharmaceutical supply chain. Contact
us to learn more.
Data Management and Exchange
The most immediate effect of RFID tag and reader deployment
is the generation of information about the movement of products through
the supply chain. In many cases, this information is raw, and its value
unclear.
VeriSign Consulting helps organizations with the initial
interpretation of this new stream of data and with its integration into
the core processes and systems of the business--manufacturing, materials
handling, packaging and labeling, distribution, inventory management,
logistics and point-of-sale (POS) systems.

For initiatives that begin with RFID enablement and
move to data management, the next logical phase is to exchange information
between trading partners to improve supply chain operations, marketing
and merchandising practices. VeriSign can also help companies
design secure, reliable network-based architectures to support the timely
exchange of new types of data across the increasing complexity of the
supply chain. Ultimately, network data exchange will replace the inefficient
and ineffective manual processes used to exchange information between
trading partners.
