RFID Readiness Check

RFID readiness check

How ready is your RFID project?

Answer a few questions about the use case, product, data, hardware and pilot planning. At the end you will receive a score from 0 to 100 points and a clear classification for the next step.

Online evaluation

Five areas, each with a maximum of 20 points.

For each question, choose the answer that comes closest to your current situation. The score is calculated directly.

01

Is the specific use case defined?

For example, inventory, merchandise surveillance, item search, omnichannel, replenishment or tracking.

Still openWe check RFID more generally.
Rough directionThe use case is outlined.
Clearly definedThe use case and goal are specific.

02

Is there a measurable KPI?

For example, inventory accuracy, search time, pick time, cancellation rate, shrink or refill speed.

NoNot a metric yet.
PartiallyBenefits are known, KPI is still soft.
YesKPI and target value are named.

03

Are the product and packaging technically described?

Material, dimensions, surface, label position, adhesive requirement and packaging logic.

Not yetProduct details are missing.
PartiallySome data is available.
CompleteProduct data is reliable.

04

Are there difficult materials or environments?

Metal, liquids, small packages, stacking, refrigeration, foil, high speed or concealed application.

UnclearRisks have not yet been examined.
KnownRisks are roughly classified.
TestedMaterial risks have been practically tested.

05

Have item master data and coding been clarified?

GTIN, EPC, serial numbers, data model, print image, encoding and transfer to systems.

NoData model is open.
PartiallyMaster data exists, coding open.
YesData and encoding are defined.

06

Is the process flow documented?

Goods receipt, store, inventory, sales, returns, DC, refill or EAS deactivation.

NoProcess is not yet outlined.
RoughProcess steps are known.
YesProcess and handovers are clear.

07

Are reading points and hardware roughly defined?

Readers, antennas, handhelds, gates, tunnels, printers, deactivators or existing systems.

NoHardware is open.
PartiallyReading points are roughly known.
YesHardware setup is sketched.

08

Has it been tested in a real environment?

Not just data sheet, but product, packaging, reading point and process environment together.

NoNo practical test yet.
Pattern plannedTest is planned.
YesThe first real tests are available.

09

Is there a pilot plan?

Test quantity, time window, location, responsible persons, success criteria and decision point.

NoNo pilot plan yet.
In progressFrame is roughly clear.
YesPilot can be planned specifically.

10

Are rollout criteria defined?

At what point is the pilot considered successful and what happens afterwards?

NoDecision criteria are missing.
PartiallyCriteria are discussed.
YesRollout decision has been prepared.

0-39Clarify the basics: sharpen the use case, data and product details.

40-59Check feasibility: test samples, materials and reading situation.

60-79Prepare pilot: Define setup, KPI and responsibilities.

80-100Plan for rollout: prepare variants, quantities, systems and operations.
