RFIDiQ is the methodology, software, and certification for turning raw RFID reads into defensible, enterprise-grade business events — built on the Asset Event Framework™, introduced in the book From Tag to Dashboard.
RFID has promised visibility for decades. Yet many commercial deployments stall in pilot phases or quietly fail to earn organizational trust. This edition introduces the Asset Event Framework™ and the RFIDiQ methodology and certification path built on it.
Four elements, engineered deliberately, resolve into one defensible event.
Every scan resolves to a structured, annotated event — not a raw read.
Announcements from RFIDiQ.
RFIDiQ announces the RFID Solution Architect certification, extending the principles introduced in From Tag to Dashboard: Engineering Event Integrity in Commercial RFID Deployments into a professional certification focused on the design of trustworthy RFID solutions.
The certification builds on the Asset Event Framework™, which defines four essential components of a meaningful asset event:
The certification is intended for professionals responsible for connecting RFID technology with operational requirements and enterprise systems, with an emphasis on the complete solution: how identity, business relationships, physical read zones, and event timing work together to produce reliable information.
