I just recently gave this presentation about the RFID technology from the very basics to a quick go through the applications and the working mechanism. I've tried more to make the concepts engaging rather than very detailed, mainly by using nice and crisp photographs and short and simple notes. Hope you enjoy the presentation and that it excites you about the deservingly exciting technology and inspires you to go into more detail(in good sources elsewhere though I intend to publish a detailed explanation on this site too).
Tadbik Washable RFID label for plastic crates and palletsMichal Yanuv Max
The T-RFID® Washable RFID label is the ideal solution for track and trace of returnable plastic items. Companies transfer
millions of containers, crates and pallets from distribution centers, along different points in the supply chain and ultimately
back at the distribution center for reuse. Many Returnable Transport Items (RTI's) are lost or damaged along the way. The
loss of returnable assets represents a great cost of asset replacement, for which the T-RFID (R) is designed to solve.
Using Radio Frequency technology for item identification helps managing inventory accurately and assist in locating assets
at the last point where the RFID tag has been read. Billing becomes an easy task when companies know how many items
have been sent to a customer, when and how many had been returned.
The T-RFID® Washable label is constructed from top notch materials that ensure label is affixed securely to the plastic item to withstands the harsh outdoor and washing cycle conditions throughout the entire life cycle of the product.
Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) is one of the most exciting technology that revolutionize the working practices by increasing efficiencies and improving profitability.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

8. Tool Management Application (1)
Coal Power Plants require visual counts for tool inventory audits
Current Physical Tracking Process
○ Tools are stored in tool crib areas with a limited
number of spares
○ Extremely large assets are stored in yards
(very time consuming to audit)
○ Tools are manually checked-in and checked-out
on a hand written log sheet
○ Many tools are large, expensive, and require long
large expensive
lead-times for replacement
○ Barcode labels cannot be attached to some tools
○ Barcode labels are not durable enough for extreme conditions
○ Can’t locate individual tools, only the total number of like tools
○ Tools leave cribs without being logged out
