2025 CONFERENCE TRACKS
Most companies struggle with managing inventory in their warehouse. RFID represents an opportunity to greatly improve inventory visibility and management, and to automate some common tasks, such as receiving. During this track, you will learn about the latest advances in RFID and IoT technologies for warehouse and inventory management within the supply chain. You’ll also take home some very practical tools, methods, and implementation best practices to get your project started on the right path immediately.
Retail and apparel companies have been among the early adopters of RFID and IoT technologies, both internally, to improve in-store inventory visibility and accuracy, and within their shared supply chains. Many businesses are already seeing benefits and are prepared to share their insights about those benefits, as well as the implementation issues they needed to address before achieving them. During this two-day track, hear how retailers worldwide are using RFID and related technologies to become more agile and responsive in an increasingly competitive market.
Digital Product Passports (DPP), which will be required in all 27 EU member nations for many products starting in 2026 and mandatory by 2030, are digital profiles attached to products, providing detailed information about their origin, materials, usage, and end-of-life handling. The driving force behind DPP is the goal of creating a circular economy, promoting sustainability. This track will cover how DPP is being used to encourage sustainable production of materials and energy, thereby extending the life of products, and maximizing product performance. Also, find out how to be sure your U.S. based firm is complying with the EU requirements.
BEYOND THE PILOT: REAL WORLD IMPLEMENTATIONS AND OUTCOMES IN MANUFACTURING
Transformative technologies are delivering benefits to manufacturers, beyond just track and trace. Advanced technologies are enabling enterprises to develop a digital enterprise strategy, as well as becoming a smarter, more connected manufacturer. Gain an understanding of the latest Industry 4.0 (and, 5.0) trends, challenges and opportunities, as well as hearing real world implementations from the people that deployed the projects.
IoT? ChatGPT? BLOCKCHAIN? AI? WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS STUFF?
The exponential growth of disruptive technologies has introduced a profound change in almost every aspect of the way we do business. In this track we clear up the misinformation, hallucinations, and myths surrounding “zombie” technology and provide examples of how it is being leveraged to strengthen (rather than replace) existing infrastructure. Learn how the latest technologies can be applied in the real world, such as AgTech, content creation, and language translation. Also, gain an understanding of how AI is being used extensively in operations and how blockchain is becoming mainstream.
ENHANCING SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE: WHAT’S AI AND ML GOT TO DO WITH IT?
The use of a smarter business model that involves digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, and more can provide the ability to optimize supply chain visibility and support planning, sourcing, and procurement strategies. In this two-day track, learn how to use the latest technology to improve supply chain performance by becoming more proactive with decision making and improving efficiency and reducing costs.
DOGE READY: HARNESSING TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY IN GOVERNMENT AND AEROSPACE
Improving efficiency in government is a hot topic today and many companies in the private sector are following suit. In this track, find out how RFID, IoT, AI, robotics, big data analytics, and digital asset management systems are being used in aerospace and government to reduce costs, mitigate risk, and save time while increasing productivity and streamlining business processes.
DIGITAL DOPPELGANGERS: POWERING OPERATIONS WITH DIGITAL TWINS AND GEN AI
Digital twins are digital replicas of physical entities, including objects, systems, or processes. They can provide a risk-free method of simulating scenarios of real-world situations and outcomes, enabling organizations to focus on real-time monitoring, analysis, and optimization of physical assets. Similarly, generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) can also be used to create content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos. Learn how the use of Gen AI supports digital twins and can be an important component in establishing competitive advantages for many businesses.
NAVIGATING HEALTHCARE, FOOD, AND RETAIL COMPLIANCE WORKSHOP: THE EVOLUTION OF DATA CARRIERS AND EPCIS TO HELP MEET SUPPLY CHAIN REGULATION IN FOOD, PHARMA, AND RETAIL
GS1 US has developed guidelines to assist US healthcare, food service, and retail industries in using radio frequency identification (RFID) to improve supply chain visibility, efficiency, and consumer safety. Learn how automation enabled by RFID not only offers inventory visibility, but also supports critical supply chain processes, including withdrawals, product safety holds, return logistics, and more.
UTILIZING CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS IN HEALTHCARE, FOOD, AND PHARMA
There’s a revolution taking place in healthcare, perishable goods, and drug discovery and development. The industry has moved beyond RTLS and groundbreaking solutions are at the forefront of technological disruption in the health sector. From leveraging AI and data analytics to improve patient outcomes to harnessing digital platforms for compliance, sessions in this track will focus on the latest technologies impacting ROI in the healthcare environment, while also improving efficiencies.
