More than 175 professionals attended this year's conference and exhibition, which explored new applications for RFID, the benefits they deliver and how to overcome implementation challenges. The event offered three industry-specific conference tracks (Manufacturing/Operations, Retail and Supply Chain/Logistics) showing how to leverage RFID to deliver business benefits, as well as the RFID Journal University preconference, and an RTLS for Manufacturing workshop. In addition, RFID vendors displayed their latest technology products and offered live technology demonstrations on the exhibition floor.

Airbus Reveals the Benefits of an Enterprise Approach to RFID
Airbus, the 2008 RFID Journal Award winner for best implementation (see Profits in Motion), has been pioneering best practices in the adoption of RFID by deploying the technology as "business radar" across all aspects of its business, including supply chain logistics, transportation, manufacturing and aircraft in-flight operations. This approach, which leverages a passive and active RFID reader infrastructure for multiple applications operating on a common software platform, has yielded significant benefits. The head of the company's RFID program explained some ways in which Airbus leverages its RFID "business radar," as well as some of the benefits the technology helps to deliver.
