00:00:11 the united states military and commercial industry of long used rfid technology to streamline and enhance business practices Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is leveraging the use and application of rfid technology for a variety of markets this is just one way pnnl is transforming the world through discovery and innovation consumers welcome price reduction rfid
00:00:34 is achieving this in many ways but the tagging of individual items is revealing yet richer rewards through time efficiency and reduced human intervention paper rfid labels are easily printed and programmed on-site and non paper RFID tags are easily programmed linking a unique ID to an entry in your database once items are tagged they are simply scanned or read
00:00:57 by a rfid reader for fast and efficient inventory control with minimal human interaction rfid technology can accurately and efficiently track inventories in a variety of items electronically virtually eliminating the opportunity for human error traditionally chemicals and other inventoried supplies are tracked manually and with barcode however with
00:01:20 rfid technology stock levels on shelves can automatically be measured or quantified with little or no human intervention this makes rfid technology the smarter solution for business operations in today's environment with RFID technology data is transferred from the inventory item to the database without physical contact this is particularly useful in
00:01:42 situations where the item being track is potentially harmful if inadvertently mishandled utilizing RFID technology as a smart solution for increasing staff safety while maintaining a proper level of inventory security researchers at PNNL are collaborating with industry universities and other laboratories to address the nation's most challenging problems while promoting scientific
