Major corporations in a multitude of industries – ranging from aerospace to oil and gas to electronics – are currently using RFID to manage several machine to machine (M2M) applications, including inventory management, shipping and delivery, tracking parts, work in progress and employee data. As these companies begin achieving return on investment (ROI) on their RFID and M2M implementations, it will have a trickle-down effect into different types of industries and applications.

Despite these positive signs, however, the success of RFID is not guaranteed, largely because of the cost of tags. There is tremendous opportunity for RFID and M2M solutions providers to invest in the time, development and trials of newer, cheaper RFID tags. Additionally, these solutions providers should work together to develop standardized systems that can be used seamlessly across multiple deployments.

Furthermore, service providers and RFID vendors must collaborate to improve upon the types of RFID systems manufacturers use today, as well as new applications that enable manufacturers to increase productivity and make business processes more efficient. Additionally, they should focus on ways to help manufacturers introduce new products and services, thereby justifying the cost of RFID implementation.

Manufacturers in multiple verticals are already seeing efficiency and bottom-line improvements by deploying RFID-M2M applications. Individual manufacturers are leveraging local successes to roll out these solutions throughout their global operations, and other manufacturers are taking note of the competitive edge these solutions provide.

These advances in RFID-M2M are taking the place of barcode readers and barcodes, which are limited in several ways. This creates a greenfield opportunity for service providers seeking new revenue opportunities and a way to differentiate themselves in the telecom and technology marketplace.

Manufacturers Show Increased Interest in RFID-M2M Systems examines how RFID and M2M technology in the manufacturing sector is being used today, as well as expected trends over the next 24 months. It details opportunities that service providers have in the market, including areas with the most growth potential for the next 24 months. It includes a comparative analysis of solutions available in the market and examines the geographic landscape of the market for service providers and challenges the industry presents.

The manufacturing industry is undergoing major changes as RFID and M2M solutions continue to expand in number and scope. Traditional solutions have been legacy systems with specialized applications to upload information from the manufacturing facility to the centralized systems in batch. Today, however, such facilities have moved to systems that utilize WLANs with mobile devices to manage everything from parts tracking to employee activities in real-time. The following excerpt shows the top market verticals for manufacturing over the next 24 months, based on estimates from technology providers.

Companies analyzed in this report include: AeroScout; DecisionPoint Systems Inc. (OTCBB: DNPI); Fluensee Inc.; Intelleflex Corp.; OATSystems, a division of Checkpoint Systems Inc. (NYSE: CKP); Tego Inc.; Ubisense Ltd.; and Xerafy Inc.
