Integrated Process-Oriented Solutions for the RFID Market - arvato systems | Technologies

<h1>Integrated Process-Oriented Solutions for the RFID Market</h1> <p>[Nov 19, 2009] <P align=justify>Gütersloh, Osnabrück, Germany, 1 November 2009 – arvato systems | <I>Technologies</I>, a subsidiary of arvato Bertelsmann AG, and Felix Schoeller Supply Chain Technologies (FST), subsidiary of the Felix Schoeller Group (the world’s largest specialty paper manufacturer for imaging and decor paper, located in Osnabrück) have concluded a strategic cooperation agreement for the planning and execution of RFID projects.</P></p> <p><P align=justify>“This makes us the first provider on the market to offer ‘end-to-end’ RFID solutions, from the original concept, process planning and evaluation up to the complete integration and execution of all project phases,” says Bernd Jaschinski-Schürmann, who is responsible for management and process consulting at arvato systems | <I>Technologies</I>.</P> <br> arvato systems | <I>Technologies</I> brings several years of experience to the table, including process analysis and optimization know-how gained in numerous logistics projects, as well as complete SAP integration of RFID mass data. FST, with its experience in RFID use, implementation and integration, contributes comprehensive hardware and implementation expertise. Frank Meyer-Niehoff, CEO of FST, says, “for several years, Felix Schoeller Supply Chain Technologies has implemented RFID solutions in the industrial production and logistics industries. When these solutions are used 24/7, they have an immediate impact, and in some cases ROI can be attained in less than one year.”<br> <br> Both companies, with their many years of experience in supply chain management, agree that the decision to implement RFID solutions cannot – and should not – be made on the basis of technology or software considerations. “Far too often, we see attempts to sell RFID as a technology. Successful implementation of RFID solutions is based on process optimization and streamlining, and RFID is only one possible tool for this,” say both companies. <br> The successful introduction of RFID stands and falls with a thorough process analysis and design, as well as a cost-benefit analysis. Only after such analysis can a feasible assessment be made as to whether, and under what conditions, the implementation of RFID makes sense. <br> <br> In order to best find out how processes can be efficiently designed with RFID, visit one of the production and logistics sites of the Felix Schoeller Group located throughout Germany. The systems employed here are not pilot projects but solutions that have been in daily industrial operation for several years. They illustrate very well why and how RFID can facilitate sensible process improvements and cost savings.<br> </P> </p> <p></p> <BR><BR>Integrated, Process, Oriented, Solutions, RFID, Market, Nov, Gütersloh, Osnabrück, Germany, November, arvto systems Technologies, subsidiary, Bertelsmann, and, Felix, Schoeller, Supply
