2011 RFID Survey Finds More Than One Third of Companies Surveyed are Implementing or Piloting RFID technology.

YONKERS, N.Y., July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CYBRA Corporation (OTC BB: CYRP.OB), the developer of award-winning MarkMagic™ Bar Code Labels, RFID Tags, and Electronic Forms Software and EdgeMagic® Integrated RFID Control Software, just released the findings of their latest customer survey of RFID trends. Survey results mirror the industry trend towards increasing adoption of RFID technology.

An analysis of the results of an RFID survey of more than 100 companies conducted by CYBRA Corporation showed that 34% of organizations are using, piloting, or already in the process of implementing RFID technology. This is a 21% increase over a previous RFID survey conducted by CYBRA in 2008.

Other highlights from the survey include:

• Of organizations (regardless of their industry) who were either implementing RFID or evaluating the use of RFID, 80% of respondents agree that they will do it not only for EPC (Electronic Product Code) compliance, but because they realize they will maximize their profits.
• Improved Inventory Accuracy (60%) and EPC Compliance (55%) remain the top two business drivers that determine RFID adoption. Of those who cited EPC compliance as a driver of RFID adoption, (24%) also cited item level tagging as a current initiative.
• The top key anticipated benefits of RFID adoption are improved inventory accuracy (29%), increased profits (26%), and overall increase in efficiency (24%).
• The payback period, or ROI, of anticipated RFID investment was less than two years (44%). Respondents assert that the reason for this time frame is because RFID can reduce labor costs; software, tags, and hardware are now less expensive; and inventory accuracy can be greatly improved.
• Only 8% of respondents answered that they will not be using RFID at all. These respondents state that their reasons are that they are worried about high costs and that there isn't enough evidence of ROI. This is down from 2008, where 15% of respondents answered that they are not using RFID, and will not be using RFID in the future.

As an incentive for clients and prospective customers to participate in the survey, CYBRA offered a chance to win an Apple iPad2. Keith Shumaker of the J.M. Smucker Company was the prize winner.
