Market Overview
Need for Improved Productivity and Efficiency Expected to Spur Implementation of RFID in Manufacturing
The global market for radio frequency identification (RFID) in manufacturing and logistics is experiencing a critical phase in its wider adoption. Several organisations that are already using the technology are moving away from limited 'slap and ship' applications to implementing RFID to improve their entire range of business processes. The highly competitive nature of modern manufacturing is driving manufacturers to contain costs and adapt their business to accommodate demand-oriented systems. 'Track and trace' applications and mandatory recycling by manufacturers in Europe are also encouraging the wider implementation of RFID. The main reasons for implementing RFID in the manufacturing context are to improve product availability for customers and boost productivity across the entire production process. The ability of RFID to enable just-in-time inventory control and asset management allows companies to reduce order turn-around time and manage fluctuating demand in markets such as automotive and consumer products.
"The unique features of RFID technology enable a constant stream of innovative new applications to be developed for the manufacturing sectors", notes the analyst of this research service. "The increasing need of manufacturers to accurately track valuable assets and products makes RFID a significant growth opportunity in the industrial sectors." In addition, the need for managers to take more real-time tactical decisions is emphasising the need for accurate and automated data collection systems such as RFID. However, RFID as a stand-alone substitute for legacy systems is unlikely to deliver sufficiently large performance benefits in the short term to justify the significant costs involved in switching out technologies wholesale. Hence, its ideal initial implementation is in a complementary role to existing legacy systems such as bar codes.
Quantifying Benefits of RFID Deployments Crucial for Market Growth
The return on investment (ROI) from RFID deployments can be quite difficult to quantify, as the full benefits of the technology depend on its degree of integration into wider business processes. The difficulty in identifying a clear ROI, coupled with high implementation costs, poses a significant challenge for potential entrants to the RFID market. "As the market transits from the technology trial phase towards the early adopter phase, a key challenge is to clearly identify the full range of benefits that can be expected," says the analyst. "The uniqueness of each new RFID implementation due to varying company environments compounds this challenge, making meaningful comparisons of new systems with existing implementations unreliable. Over-optimistic or unclear objectives for implementing RFID are likely to have a negative impact on ROI and deter wider adoption."
In such a scenario, the optimal ROI achievable from the adoption of RFID can only be realised if business processes are designed to operate within real-world environments and well-integrated IT infrastructures. Manufacturers need to establish a strong business case for implementing RFID systems and develop flexible frameworks for evaluating the ROI that can be achieved.
