OVERVIEW

• Introduction
• What is RFID?
• How does RFID impact petGRO
• Comparison
• Mutlispectral Solutions Inc- Sapphire dart
• Texas Instruments TI-RFid
• Recommendation
• Impact on petGRO
• Impact on RD

RFID

• RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
• an automatic identification method through radio
  waves
• relies on storing and remotely retrieving data
  through devices called RFID tags or transponders

• Types of RFID
• passive
• semi-passive
• active

4
RFID in petGRO

• Animal tracking
• Allows for tracking of growth rates, feeding,
  health stats and breeding information
• Direct management system
• Product Integrity
• ensuring that products are authentic and have not
  been altered in any way

5

• Multispectral Solutions Inc. vs Texas
  Instruments' RFID technology

6
Multispectral Solutions Inc

• Sapphire Dart is a
• Ultra Wideband (UWB)-based Radio Frequency
  Identification (RFID) and Real Time Location
  System (RTLS)

7
Multispectral Solutions Inc

• Sapphire Dart Features
• Tag read ranges in excess of 200 meters (650
  feet) line-of-sight, and better than 50 meters
  (160 feet) indoors through multiple obstructions
  
• Real Time Location Not just Active RFID
• Long battery life (approx 10 yrs)
• Real time location accuracies better than 30 cm
  (12) 10 cm (4) with averaging
• Immunity to ISM and WiFi interference
• Micro miniature tag sizes

8
Texas Instrument

• TI-RFid Technology is a
• Low Frequency (LF) Radio Frequency Identification
  (RFID) used in a broad range of RFID applications

• Series 2000 Gate Antenna Small
• ECO-line Low Frequency 32mm Glass Transponders
• Series 2000 Antenna Tuning Module for Remote
  Antenna RFM

9
Texas Instrument

• TI-RFid Features
• Low frequency (LF) RFID, 134.2 kHz
• read range between 20cm to 250cm
• Passive transponders (battery-free) powered from
  the reader signal
• transponders do not need direct line of sight to
  be identified
• have superior performance under practical and
  harsh conditions (extreme temp, moisture )

Recommendation

• TI-RFid
• Industry leader (trusted for over 16 yrs)
• Easy implementation
• Cheaper to implement
• TI controls its entire manufacturing process,
  including chip and antenna
• TI strongly supports the International Standard
  for Radio Frequency Identification of Animals

16
TI-RFid RD

• Simplification of business processes
• Increase productivity
• Reduce costs for petGRO in the long run therefore
  allows for higher ROI
• Increase security
• Provides inventory management
• Supply chain management

17
TI-RFid petGRO

• Pre-production planning
• improves quality management
• improves JIT system
• JIT-System
• manufacturing material inventory can be monitored
  efficiently with the aid of TI-RFid
• allows production planning management to be
  effective and focused
• Other Areas
• used in experiments involving animals in order to
  gather data
• Used as security system within RD department

Why TI-RFid?

• TI is the co-inventor of the smart label and
• has proven its performance as a trusted,
• reliable supplier of chips and RFID subsystems
• since 1989. The 2006 RFID Marketing
• Strategies Report, a survey of more than 550
• end users, providers and prospects, ranked TI as
  1 in thought leadership and as the most
• desired business partner.
