Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a horizontal technology that can enable business innovations across many industries beyond retail including hospitality, automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, transportation and logistics, etc. It plays an important role in the IoT, M2M and Smart City applications. IEEE CRFID Singapore Chapter is organizing an RFID workshop covering the fundamental theories and practical skills of RFID technology, advanced RFID antennas, and various enterprise applications. Some industry product demo will be showcased during the workshop as well.

Abstract: The term Industry 4.0 refers to the 4th industrial revolution and the implementation of the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) in factories, where a virtual copy of the monitored physical processes is created to automate and control the production, via the means provided by the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Services (IoS). In this latest revolution, RAIN RFID and NFC are key enabler technologies and can easily be applied to Automotive and Industrial Production - Production control, traceability along the supply chain, brand protection for spare parts, consumer interactions, easy machinery maintenance and part replacement and Electronics PCB tagging - Production control, traceability along the supply chain, brand protection, activation of new services (e.g. in-store activation, recycling, warranty information, maintenance reporting, language setting, operating parameter setting, easy machinery replacement.

Lecture 4: RFID track & trace technology

.

Abstract: RFID is an auto-identification technology that can help provide visibility and improve productivity especially in asset and inventory management and tracking. SIMTech conducted R&D in the areas of RFID event capturing and processing, event synchronization, event discovery and sharing, to developed the RFID track & trace technology to address industry needs. In order to facilitate technology mass adoption by companies, we packed our technology as cost-effective and ready-to-go packages. It can minimise the cost and risk for companies especially SMEs to use the technology to improve their productivity in the increasingly competing business environment.

Lecture 5: Emerging Applications of RFID Technology

Mr. Steven Li
Product Director of Invengo Technology


Abstract: Although the foundation of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology was laid by past generations, only recent advances opened an expanding application range to its practical implementation. However, the focus of RFID industry is shifting rapidly from hardware centric to data centric, to IoT RFID. In this talk, some of emerging applications such as textile services to reduces linen losses, intelligent RFID system with IoT platform will be introduced and discussed.

Equipped with over 20 years of experience in RFID, Invengo is the global RFID technology provider. It is a leading developer and manufacturer of high quality, intelligent RAIN RFID (UHF) and NFC (HF) inlays, tags and connectivity solutions utilized in the Internet of Things (IoT). With a focus on RFID innovation, Invengo has created a leading product line in retail, library, pharmaceutical, healthcare, (public) transportation and many other industries.
