LIVE! 2014 to Feature RFID Institute Certification, Fast-Track
Training Courses
NEW YORK, March 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RFID Journal announced today
that the International RFID Institute will hold its first
certification examination at RFID Journal LIVE! 2014, while RFID4U
will offer two fast-track RFID training courses at the event. LIVE!
2014, the world's premier conference and exhibition focused on radio
frequency identification (RFID) and its many business applications,
will be held on Apr. 8-10, at the Orange County Convention Center,
located in Orlando, Fla.
The International RFID Institute was founded in 2012 to develop
standardized certification examinations to promote professionalism in
the RFID industry. The organization will launch the RFID Institute
Certified Associate exam at this year's LIVE! conference, enabling
attendees to be among the first to receive certification.
RFID4U's two training courses, Fast-Track RFID Deployment Training and
Fast-Track RFID Applications Developers Training, are both part of the
company's Fast-Track series, and will provide attendees with
practical, hands-on training for implementing RFID, through lectures
and laboratory exercises.
Fast-Track RFID Deployment Training-a one-day skill camp, featuring
the latest equipment and relevant scenarios-will provide a solid
foundation to design, install, configure, monitor and troubleshoot
RFID deployments at small and medium-sized businesses and enterprise
installations. The course, combining lectures and hands-on lab
exercises, will provide a functional understanding regarding the use
of readers, tags, printers and general-purpose input-output (GPIO)
devices.
Fast-Track RFID Applications Developers Training, an instructor-led
course, teaches software application developers how to build the next
generation of rich, interactive RFID applications for passive
ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID readers and peripherals. Hands-on
exercises provided throughout the course are designed to offer
students an opportunity to gain practical experience with the skills
and concepts covered during the lectures, and demonstrate how to
optimally capture reads in different scenarios, such as those
involving conveyor belts, door portals, forklifts and handheld
devices.
In addition, participants will learn how to make decisions regarding
performance and scalability, by selecting native application
programming interfaces (APIs), including vendors' software development
kits (SDKs), versus middleware. Furthermore, participants will
understand various structures, such as ROSpec, AISpecs, AccessSpec and
RFSurveySpec, available via EPCglobal's Low-Level Reader Protocol
(LLRP).Participants will be provided with hands-on experience with the
latest RFID devices and cutting-edge RFID labs.
LIVE! 2014 will also feature four industry-specific and four how-to
conference tracks, as well as eight in-depth preconference seminars
and workshops, four post-conference seminars, the RFID Journal Awards,
the Coolest Demo Contest and a co-located event, IEEE RFID 2014. In
addition, the conference will offer exhibits and demonstrations
conducted by more than 200 of the industry's leading technology firms.
