What does ID have to do with postal innovation ?
Brought to this initiative is deep-rooted experience with automatic identification through organizing the ID WORLD International Congress, the leading global symposium on automatic identification. ‘What does ID have to do with postal innovation?’ one might ask.
ID is in fact pivotal to the business paradigms in the postal and express shipping business :
• ID is the glue that holds the Physical, Virtual, Financial domains of the postal business together from the inside
• ID is the necessary component for the creation of the external trust model
• ID is also the change agent as new technologies evolve and disrupt existing processes.
From barcode to RFID, from cards to biometrics
Barcode-based legacy systems have proven effective in meeting both the shippers’ and customers’ expectations to be able to track and trace shipments on an almost real-time basis for their global business intelligence and visibility requirements. Nevertheless, the global postal and parcel shipping market has long been predicted to be one of the largest potential applications for RFID.
However, advanced identification technologies can provide more than just tracking. Secure identification, authentication and trust is a must in areas such as remittance services and e-commerce, areas which represent the key to improved services and additional revenue opportunities for the postal and express shipping sector.
In 2012, Postal Innovation goes live on the occasion of the three major events of ID WORLD, the global thought leadership symposium on automatic identification. All technology platforms of today’s advanced identification scenario contributing to enhance processes and innovate the business paradigms in the postal sector will be showcased.
Knowledge sharing and Cross fertilization
Postal Innovation will offer an important chance for cross-fertilization from other industries already using advanced automatic identification technologies and will act as a think-tank going beyond the specific industry contraints of other events, offering a profound understanding of the cross-sector opportunities and implications of each technology platform.
As « Postal and Express Shipping Innovation » event within a larger « ID » event, Postal Innovation is expected to foster inter sector innovation and new business opportunities for the postal sector.
Why attend Postal Innovation ?
While events exist that focus on the business aspects of the postal sector or on engineering and equipment used by postal and express shipping operators, until today there was no forum focusing purely on future innovation in the postal and express shipping sector. This need is what Postal Innovation will address.
