Active RFID (09:00 - 12:20)
09:00 - 09:25 "Coronis and Essensium: Localization within Wireless Sensor Networks (Joint presentation)"- Wavenis ultra-low-power and long-range wireless technology meets cutting edge LOcalization Sensor Technology (LOST)
- Enterprise Wi-Fi is used today for Data, Voice, AND for Location purposes
- Using Wi-Fi as the backbone of tracking system eliminates the need of proprietary reader network
- Wi-Fi RTLS has become a disruptive solution to traditional active RFID
- Use cases vary, from room level tracking to nationwide supply-chain visibility
- Requiring Software and Tags only, Wi-Fi based RTLS is easy and quick to install
- Ekahau RTLS is an example of an Open RTLS system that does not require integration to Wi-Fi infrastructure
- How Siemens increases the engineers efficiency by providing the real time information of the location of measurement instruments
- How they avoid losing instruments by misplacement
- How the pay back of the system is calculated
- The Loc8tor 2.45GHz ultra low cost system
- Locating and ring fencing, alarm button, light, vibration
- Types of use
- Pliant's use of PowerID labels for tamper-proofing high value and sensitive pallets
- Holmen Paper's use of PowerID BAP for tracking paper reels from mill to printer
- Additional uses of BAP: tracking metals, chemicals, and people
- Healthcare systems are facing massive process challenges
- Inefficient use of clinical staff, rooms, beds, equipment
- Suboptimal patient throughput and dissatisfied patients
- Poor infection control.
- Focus on solving workflow/process efficiency problems
- Real Time Location System (RTLS) visualization, reporting and workflow solutions involving patient care equipment, beds, rooms, patients and/or clinical staff receiving increasing attention from healthcare executives
- Location accuracy is key to RTLS performance
- Sonitor's USID provides 100% reliable room- or sub-room level accuracy.
- USID is not subject the electromagnetic interference issues(EMI) found with RFID and is robust in complex buildings
- Lower lifetime cost than Active RFID
- Sonitor's USID was developed from the ground up especially for RTLS applications in hospitals
- Active RFID systems are in many hospitals being replaced by Ultrasound ID (USID)
- Chosen by over 30 hospitals in US and Europe. All Sonitor USID users are satisfied.
NFC (13:50 - 15:05)
13:50 - 14:15 "NFC - The State of the Nation"- The battles are being decided
- Users are asking for it
- Service providers are lining up
- Where are the phones?
- Latest Oyster Information
- Recent NFC Mobile Phone trial findings
- Future Ticketing Project - Can contactless EMV payment cards be used for Travel in London
- Analysts see a bright future for the long term success of NFC, mainly driven by killer applications like m-payment and m-ticketing. However these applications require a more complex setup in the NFC eco-system as well as enough critical mass at NFC enabled hand-sets.
- The presentation will highlight the environment, where NFC can be exploited already today: Using NFC technology to enable existing services has been shown successfully in Austrian and German travel projects. Equipping closed user groups with NFC mobile phones allow to use the technology for tracing and tracking applications but also for innovative couponing, event management or physical access solutions.
