Three real products. Two senior engineers. Solved live.
This isn't a slide deck about embedded RFID. Two senior Novanta engineers get handed real product briefs on the spot, with Atlas RFID's Director of Sales in the room, and work out how they'd build each one in front of you — the path, the tradeoffs, and the calls they'd make.
Four parts. No scripts. Real engineering decisions, made in real time.
Three ways to build RFID into a product — and when each one makes sense.
Along the way: the RF, electrical, mechanical, and firmware decisions that lock in early — and what changes between prototype and production, from certification to manufacturing at scale.
Here's the brief. Now build it.
Each engineer gets an application and a set of constraints. They walk the audience through how they'd solve it — reader IC, module, or module on a carrier board — and defend the call.
An RFID-enabled medical supply cabinet
A customer wants to build RFID into a medical cabinet. Here are the requirements.

The toughest brief of the day. Nobody sees it until it’s on screen — including the engineer.
15 questions. 60 seconds. One engineer at a time.
Each engineer takes the hot seat for one minute of rapid-fire embedded RFID questions — antenna tuning, power budgets, certification, firmware, read range. No notes, no second takes. Just what they know cold after decades in the field.
70+ years of combined RFID experience. Zero prep time.
Pull up a chair. Watch the problems get solved.
Built for teams putting RFID inside a product, device, or system — whether you're sketching an idea or debugging a prototype.
