Why Your Multi-Million Dollar Infrastructure Inventory Fails the Thanksgiving Test

Every facility manager and construction executive knows the panic of the Thanksgiving host: you have 50 ingredients, 20 guests, and a single critical item (like the turkey thermometer or a specific cable spool) is missing. In business, this "missing ingredient" isn't a ruined dinner; it's a multi-million dollar project delay due to untraceable assets in a vast laydown yard or warehouse.

This year, Americans will be spending an average of $2,000 per person over the holidays – with more than $600 on travel, and the rest on decorations, celebrations and gifts.  For most of us, this translates to a lot of running around and spending money – and enjoying the holidays.

It’s good to know that in the background, little RFID elves have been busy keeping everything running smoothly to help make the holidays truly magical.
