OTA Training Opens in Argentina
"We're very excited with the growing and sustained interest in RFID technology through such high quality seminars and trainings like these provided by OTA and Telectronica. Providing global standards in general, and those specifically related to the successful implementation of RFID technology, is a critical aspect in our mission," says Ruben Calonico, EPCglobal Argentina General Manager. The one-, three-, and four-day classes are to be held from May 15-18 at Telectronica's RFID testing and training facility in Buenos Aires. CompTIA RFID+ Certification will also be available for those interested in taking that training and exam. Given the overwhelming response, additional dates might be added the following week from May 21-24.

First Ever Apparel RFID Solution Centre Opens
"Optimisation of the supply chain is a vital competitive factor for both apparel manufacturers and retailers alike," says John Smith, Vice President of Retail Sales for ADT Europe, Middle East, and Africa. "Brand owners want to prevent counterfeiting; manufacturers want to save time and money by streamlining their processes, while retailers seek to improve their in-store and point of sale activities. The whole supply chain has to be transparent and effectively managed to truly help reduce out-of-stock situations and increase sales."
According to Jarkko Kuusisto, CEO of Salpomec: "In increasingly global supply chains, apparel manufacturing often takes place on one continent with the goods being sold in an entirely different location. This increases the demand for up to date and accurate information throughout the entire supply chain. RFID can deliver this by offering increased levels of information and control."
The Apparel RFID Solution Centre opened to visitors at the beginning of May. In its first year of operation, it is expected to host visits by up to 100 garment manufacturers, brand owners, retailers, and logistics providers. Visits can be arranged by contacting rfidsolutioncentre@tycoint.com, salpomec@salpomec.fi or mikko.immonen@upmraflatac.com.

"By hosting customer visits to the Centre, we can demonstrate that the most advantageous point in the supply chain to attach an RFID tag to a garment is the manufacturing stage," explains Samuli Strömberg, Vice President of Marketing at UPM Raflatac. "In this way, it can include information for the whole supply chain right from the beginning, bringing value to all participants in the chain. In addition to tracking and tracing capabilities, RFID offers a means of brand protection and enhanced marketing opportunities."
