RFID EDITOR'S NOTE Text size: T T T

Congratulations to the RFID Journal Award Winners

It's exciting that these three worthy winners will be acknowledged at RFID Journal LIVE!, but I think it will be a particular treat for attendees to hear about what these leaders have accomplished. I have no doubt many people in the audience will find these applications relevant, in some way, to their companies' operations. Even Dow's Sentricon application—a novel, niche application—might encourage others to think about RFID in new ways that benefit their business.

There were nearly 50 submissions, many of which were worthy of praise. Some came up a little short because they were pilots, or because they had not been live long enough to have proven benefits. But I thank all those who submitted and hope you will enter again next year.

I would also like to thank the five judges who joined me in evaluating all the submissions. They brought their experience in RFID, their intelligence and their integrity to the voting, which makes these awards meaningful and the award program a success. The judges are:

• Stephen N. David, former CIO and chief business-to-business officer, The Procter & Gamble Company
• Bill Hardgrave, director of the RFID Research Center at the University of Arkansas
• Gordon S. Holder, retired vice admiral for the U.S. Navy and a principal at Booz Allen Hamilton
• Chris Hook, wireless and sensor solutions practice lead at Deloitte Consulting
• Fred Riggins, assistant professor at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota

I hope you will join us at RFID Journal LIVE! for the awards presentations—and for a conference program that will educate you about how and where RFID is delivering real business value today, and how to implement systems cost-effectively. Or just come walk the 86,000-square-foot exhibition hall and see the latest RFID solutions from the leading technology providers.
