"The Alien RFID Academy training courses offer a variety of learning experiences for professionals at all levels of the RFID industry," says Karen Radde of RFIDSupplyChain.com. "Given that Alien has many years in developing groundbreaking RFID technology and that the instructors are top RFID professionals, attendees and their employers can feel confident that they will receive unsurpassed RFID knowledge."

The following is an overview of the courses offered:

1.   RFID Now -- Provides up-to-date understanding of today's RFID landscape through science, standards, breakthrough technologies and best practices behind RFID solutions.
2.   RFID at Work -- Provides the skills to successfully initiate the analysis, design and implementation of RFID solution through practical in-depth instruction and hands-on guidance.
3.   RFID Optimized -- Challenges professionals who need to manage or troubleshoot RFID implementation through analysis of business case factors, customer requirements, environmental factors, equipment configurations and work-flow processes.

Each course is taught using real-world use case examples applied to interactive discussion, role play and simulations. The RFID Academy, when taught at the RFID Solution Center Dayton, is further enhanced by leveraging the center's 15,000 square foot simulated supply chain giving students the opportunity to apply RFID in manufacturing, packaging, distribution and retail environments.

While some classes can be taken individually, most students elect to enroll in the entire Academy experience. "Whether you need the basics or in depth understanding, these courses provide a solid foundation in RFID technology," adds Radde.
