The program for this one-day event encompasses the themes of aerospace, industrial automation, logistics, and transportation in addition to personal identification.
What advantages and what challenges are there when using RFID technology for logistic and industrial applications, and what services does it bring? This question and many others will be answered by expert speakers. At the international conference "The World of Identification: AIDC/RFID," they will present their expertise and their wealth of experience in practice-oriented lectures, they will report on current applications, and they can answer technical questions.

| Aviation: Identification of Assets, Baggage and Materials | |
High Demand for InnovationHardly any industry has focused as equally on technological advances as aviation. Under the Federal Association of Aviation and Space Industry (BDLI), the annual expenditure on research and development in 2010 was about 17 percent of industry sales. The aerospace industry relies on innovation. AIDC/RFID technology can improve upon processes in aviation logistics and maintenance. The deployed devices and transponders have to meet specific requirements in terms of robustness and security. |

RFID In Logistics And Maintenance Management At Lufthansa Technik
As part of the RFID management program, all RFID activities are driving the Lufthansa Technical Group ahead. At the LTL warehouse in Hamburg, every day hundreds of components are going in and coming out; from tagged life jackets, to marking the parts outside of an aircraft cabin. |

Luggage Handling at the Airport
With a hybrid Airport Luggage Identification System (ALIS), Sick has developed a solution to decrease the throughput times of luggage on the airport, to reduce the manual expense and to curb the search and handling costs for lost or delayed luggage. In addition Barcode and RFID solutions are used here to label and read RFID luggage tags at unmanned luggage counters. |
|
Safety At the airport
At a German major airport, the airport lighting of the runway will be labelled with RFID to simplify maintenance visits. In a South African city, the company installed an RFID system for access control. Since the implementation, the number of criminal offences in the security zone has verifiably decreased. |

Bistable displays with wireless control for logistic applications
The use of RFID in logistics often suffers the drawback that information stored on tags is not visible for operators but needs additional hardware to be read. We demonstrate the coupling of RFID tags with bistable displays to circumvent this drawback. Potential applications of this technology will be discussed. |

| Industrial Automation: Identification of Parts through the Assembly Line | |
|---|---|
Industry 4.0The Industry is in a transition. Innovations such as the self-controlling factory are becoming a reality; among experts, this leads to a debate over the „fourth industrial revolution.“ AIDC/RFID technologies provide an essential contribution to the improvement of efficiency and security in production. A unique part identification system across the entire production chain gives manufacturing companies a distinct, competitive advantage. |
|
Power to compete through industrial identification
Flexibility and effectiveness are fundamental in order to be able to meet individual customer requirements in a targeted and reliable manner. Through the use of identification concepts, you benefit from more efficiency in logistics, material management, production and services, and can therefore act flexibly in a tough competitive environment. |

RFID-Applications in the Automotive Industry: New Solutions for Tracking & Tracing
Balluff offers RFID-solutions for identification of metal components in the automobile industry. Special screw-like tags will be applied to motorblocks. These data carriers can be programmed with product information as well as with relevant process and quality data. Thus RFID tags (HF or UHF) enable the entire manufacturing process to be traceable and improve the efficiency of the supply chain. |
|
Continuous RFID tracking of metallic and non metallic objects across the production lifecycle
What are the benefits of continuous automatic tracking along the production chain? How does RFID fit into highly automated production processes? What requirements must RFID tags meet when on metal? These and other questions will be answered in this lecture. |

| Security: Identification of People | |
|---|---|
Need for Reliable IdentificationMore and more, we meet safety-relevant identification in everyday life. Whether on the ticket to a football match, when redeeming a voucher, or use the new ID card: The need for reliable identification is increasing. AIDC/RFID technology can help satisfying security standards and reducing costs. |

|
Secure Identities And Secure Items Through The Proper Use Of RFID Technology
RFID systems are used in various applications. The challenge in future business transactions will be in the ability to move in safe environments. The secure identification of persons and objects are increasingly implemented and realized with RFID technologies. |

| Logistics and Transportation: Identification in Storage and on a Shop Floor | |
|---|---|
Increasing Flow of GoodsFrom the milk on the supermarket shelves to the newspaper - efficient logistics determine our everyday lives, despite being virtually hidden. Because of the increasing, global flow of goods, the logistic and transport sectors are always facing new challenges. The main players in the industry are continuously working to meet the increasing demands. When it comes to automating logistic processes and freight delivery, AIDC/RFID technologies are indispensable. |

Convergence of different identification technologies in logistics - Barcode, RFID, Voice
The convergence of different identification technologies in logistics will be the lecture topic for Jürgen Heim. The company‘s approach is to make barcode-, RFID-, or voice-based solutions easier to combine. Modular handhelds allow flexible change in the use of different technologies. |
|
DHL‘s approach for industry-independant RFID solutions
From Fashion to High Tec: LSPs handle goods from various industry sectors. Except for small custumization parts, any RFID solution has to be agnostic about the industry it is used for. This presentation is about DHL‘s way forward in generalizing RFID solutions. |
|
Optimized Logistics Processes in Ports
ThyssenKrupp is currently constructing a new smelter in Brazil to produce approximately five million tons of flat rolled steel per year, which is transported to the U.S. and to Germany. To accelerate the port turnaround, the steel company relies on an RFID solution by T-Systems. Each steel block will be labelled with an RFID tag prior to shipment. |
|
Software for AIDC in Retail
Using RFID and other AIDC (QR Code, NUI, Bar code, Cameras, and others), Vip-Systems developed 15 applications such as Smart POS and Smart Logistics. It improves the interactivity and the mobility of customers and employees. As a result, sales increase and expenditure shrinks. |
