Talk On Radio Frequency Identification
By Huraizah Ahmad

Bandar Seri Begawan - The CEO and Founder of American RFID solutions, Mr Harold Clampitt, recently delivered a talk on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) that was attended by some 20 individuals from IET and other organisations in the engineering industry.

The talk was part of a series of programmes organised by IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) Brunei. Mr Harold Clampitt gave an exciting talk featuring three short video clips on how can RFID help in an organisation as well as the implementations of RFID in USA including Wal-Mart and the Department of Defence.

A demonstration was also run at the end of the talk by Mr Kamal from Malaysia RFID Technology Centre, Penang, Malaysia. Participants later held a discussion on the ideas and benefits of RFID.

According to Mr Clampitt, it is important to recognise that RFID encompasses a new way of doing business. "It is not just about replacing bar codes with tags when feasible," he said, adding that "competitive power shifts derived from RFID are underway".

Mr Clampitt has been a distinguished speaker at international events in Beijing, Cannes, Hong Kong, London, Munich, Oxford, Singapore and Sydney.

He has earned professional recognition with the publication of his articles in trade magazines such as RFID journal, and the IEE.

He has been honoured as the Cofounder and Vice-Chairman of the RFID China Training Institute, Beijing. He is also involved in the setting up of the Malaysia RFID Technology Center in Penang, Malaysia. His success can be attributed to a combination of technical knowledge and international business skills in which he has used this valuable insight to build a team spanning 14 languages and operating in all major time zones.

IET Brunei, previously known as IEE Brunei Branch will also be organising more technical talks and visits in the future. The IET Annual General Meeting will be held on November 12, 2006 at The Empire Hotel and Country Club.
