On the first day of the conference, Chris Adcock, President of EPCglobal Inc., will deliver the keynote presentation and discuss the role of standards in helping international retailers to expand their business beyond their home markets. He will also analyze the commercial opportunities emerging from Central and Eastern European countries. Tim Marsh, Technology Manager in the global packaging division at Pfizer, will demonstrate how drug safety and tracking can be improved.
Experts from key European retail groups will give presentations, using recent examples which will help delegates to understand the practical elements to implementing this technology in the supply chain. James Stafford, Head of RFID at Marks & Spencer, will highlight how the UK retail chain is using item level tagging to improve customer service and business efficiency in its clothing and food departments.
Rene Bakker, Logistics Director at Schuitema, a leading retail group in the Netherlands will present a case study to delegates about how smart labels can be used to grow a retail business. Schuitema owns the Dutch supermarket chain, C1000, which has hundreds of outlets across the country. His presentation will show how RFID/smart labels can reduce fresh food wastage in the supply chain and improve operational processes.
A tabletop exhibition will be running alongside the conference with exhibitors from across Europe attending, including: Avery Dennison, HP, Timestrip, bielomatik, Domino Printing Sciences and Picosoft, to name a few.
