Main Topic at the International Conference "The World of Identification: AIDC/RFID"

The trade magazine "RFID im Blick" will present the annual international conference "The World of Identification: AIDC/RFID" on March 8th, 2012, in Hanover. At the Convention Center at CeBIT, the key themes on the program are aviation, industrial automation, logistics and transportation, and personal identification. The language of all presentations is English. Partners of the international conference are Assion Electronic, Balluff, Feig Electronic, Harting Technology Group, Psion, Schreiner Logidata, Sick and Siemens.

Industry 4.0

The 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.

Flexible and Effective

Heinz-Peter Peters, Simatic Ident, Siemens, reports about the 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.

Automotive Manufacturing and RFID

Oliver Pütz-Gerbig, BU Identification Product Manager at Balluff, will talk about tracking and tracing solutions with UHF in the automotive industry. The company develops solutions for the unique identification of cylinder blocks and engine blocks. RFID tags accompany these parts through the entire manufacturing process. In the form a screw applied to the object, the data carrier can withstand all of the processing steps.

Challenges of Production

Where do the barriers currently lie in automatic RFID data entry in the production environment? What are the benefits of extensive automatic tracking? What requirements must RFID tags meet when on metal? These and other questions will be answered by Frank Linti, Business Development Manager at Schreiner LogiData, in his presentation titled, "The Seamless RFID Tracking of All Metallic and Nonmetallic Objects in the Production Process."
