Perfect Steel case study – all scenarios<br />

combined<br />

<strong>The</strong> total combined business case <strong>for</strong><br />

Perfect Steel features an ROI <strong>of</strong> 17.7 million<br />

euros or a net present value <strong>of</strong> 10.8 million<br />

euros after five years. <strong>The</strong> initial investment<br />

<strong>for</strong> the combined scenario is 7.3 million<br />

euros.<br />

In comparison, the total ROI <strong>of</strong> all three<br />

scenarios implemented individually is only<br />

16.9 million euros <strong>and</strong> the net present<br />

value is only 10.1 million euros after five<br />

years, while the individual investments<br />

would add up to 7.7 million euros (higher<br />

investment leading to a lower ROI / NPV).<br />

This is yet another reason why -- as was<br />

already stated in the introduction to the<br />

case study – <strong>RFID</strong> should not be regarded as<br />

a project or number <strong>of</strong> projects but rather<br />

as an infrastructure program. Only by using<br />

that infrastructure to support a growing<br />

number <strong>of</strong> use cases will allow companies<br />

to maximize the benefits this technology<br />

promises.<br />
