User Day presents use cases from industry, logistics, healthcare, retail, and security

On Thursday, September 28, RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow focuses on the user! In five expert forums, companies from all application areas present successful deployments of RFID, NFC, BLE, LPWAN, and Wi-Fi. Ranging from proofs of concept to worldwide roll-outs, all presentations showcase operational expertise and real-world application experience. Learn from users how to analyse and define processes and requirements. Get to know how solutions partners choose the right hardware, software, and technology and deploy the solution – and how to benefit from the added value of wireless IoT technology in day-to-day business operations.

Supporting and honouring the use of RFID & Wireless IoT

Since the first issue of “RFID im Blick”, the German sister magazine of “RFID & Wireless IoT Global”, over eleven years ago, the magazine's editorial staff is tirelessly promoting the use of RFID technology in a wide variety of application areas. Therefore, it is time to send a signal: With the RFID & Wireless IoT Solutions Award, “RFID im Blick” commits to honouring companies which have successfully implemented RFID and wireless IoT solutions. The award is a signal aimed at supporting the digital transformation process across all industries. With the Solutions Award, RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow is committing to its role as the leading European conference and exhibition for pioneering technological innovation and operational expertise.

Invengo Textile Services announced the launch of ACUITY Connect, a mobile linen inventory management solution designed for industrial laundries, hotels, and hospitals. Designed in response to customer feedback and demand, ACUITY Connect combines a highly performant handheld UHF reader and a cloud-based mobile app. It allows linen managers to gain rapid and real-time overview of their stocks to better control linen going in and out their facility, to improve the management of their daily/monthly requirements and to optimize their labor costs.

Quo Vadis, UHF? Global harmonization and safety regulations

Is an international standard for UHF RFID within reach? Representatives of AIM, RAIN RFID and other RFID stakeholders recently represented the RFID industry at a European Commission workshop on the efficient use of the 915-921 megahertz frequency band. Both organizations support Forum 4 on Developer Day of RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow. AIM Europe, the RAIN RFID Alliance and CISC Semiconductor will discuss the status of the standardization process, the adoption rate for UHF RFID and the upcoming challenges for the RFID industry. The French Centre National RFID and the European Commission will examine the security aspects of RFID and the impact of the forthcoming European Data Protection Regulation.

Feig provides access control with RFID for snow and more

When winter lasts half a year and produces one metre of snow, snow disposal is one of the most important tasks that a municipality can face. The 191,000-person town of Regina, Canada, requires a budget of 6.5 million Euros for snow and ice removal each year. In order to reduce that amount, Regina relies on innovative solutions: with RFID technology from FEIG, the city of Regina was able to automate access control to its municipal snow disposal – and cut down on costly unlicensed dumping.

Silvana Cantalini, Vice President, RFID Canada, in an interview with “RFID & Wireless IoT Global”

Zebra Technologies, a worldwide leader in rugged mobile computers, barcode scanners and barcode printers enhanced with software and services to enable real-time enterprise visibility, introduced the new ZT600 and ZT510 industrial printers designed to withstand the harshest environments while delivering superior print quality and uptime. Zebra also announced Printer Profile Manager Enterprise, a browser-based remote printer management solution for Zebra Link-OS® enabled printers that greatly reduces cost and management time.

System integration for automotive, oil & gas, logistics, and retail in Forum 3

At RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow, software providers, system integrators, and solutions architects give actionable advice for continuous solutions for digital business models. Learn about the key aspects of successful digitalisation projects in Forum 3, “software & system integration”, on September 27. Solutions providers Mieloo & Alexander, Sick, and Waldemar Winckel explain how RFID data can transform formerly unguided processes, unlocking benefits across entire continuous value chains such as in automotive, oil & gas, and logistics. Vilant Systems and Nordic ID report on their successes in streamlining work and process flows in the hospitality industry and in logistics. The shared aspects of all these successful digitalisation projects being presented: automation, efficiency, and security.

Security, reliable standards and interoperability in the IoT

The interconnection of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) is a core element of the digital transformation. How can companies link both worlds? Fraunhofer IPMS and Microsoft rely on OPC UA to enable standardized connections of cloud, machines, assets and passive UHF RFID sensors for condition monitoring and production control.
