RFID Application Development Lab: Track and Traceability

射频识别(RFID)是一项新兴技术，可用于提高跟踪和跟踪广泛行业中的资产和库存的准确性和效率。这项技术通过帮助公司建立和保持竞争优势，创造了一种商业优势，在经济低迷时期变得更加关键。 RFID应用开发实验室(RAD Lab)处于有利地位，可以协助调查、实验和开发新的RFID应用。正如我们正在进行的研究所确定的那样，在采用该技术的过程中出现了各种差距。使用RFID解决业务问题的过程对于每个企业来说都是独一无二的。RFID标签嵌体的供应量很大，但最终包装标签的特定形状因数通常是应用所特有的。由于SAIT RAD实验室的应用程序开发活动，有机会为中小企业制造商提供这些产品的现成市场。 南艾伯塔省理工学院(SAIT)应用研究和创新服务 2008年建立了RAD实验室，主要目标有四个： -通过使用射频识别技术进行库存和资产管理，帮助行业提高竞争力； -协助本地及地区业界在无线射频识别价值链内寻找新的商机； -提供厂商中立的技术采用设施，让业界可在全面采用新的射频识别技术前测试新技术；以及 -通过将射频识别技术的概念融入课程并激励学生参与应用研究项目，为拥有高技能劳动力的行业提供支持。

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an emerging technology that can be used to improve accuracy and efficiency in tracking and tracing assets and inventories in a wide range of industries. The technology creates a business advantage that becomes even more critical during slow economic times by helping companies establish and maintain a competitive advantage. The RFID Application Development Lab (RAD Lab) is well positioned to assist in the investigation, experimentation and development of new RFID applications. As our ongoing reseach has determined, there are a variety of gaps appearing in the adoption of the technology. The process of using RFID to solve a business problem is unique to every business venture. RFID tag inlays are in large supply, however the specific form factors for the final packaged tag is often unique to the application. There exist opportunities to prototype and provide SME manufacturers a ready-made market for these products as a result of the SAIT RAD Lab's application development activity. The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Polytechnic Applied Research and Innovation Services established the RAD Lab in 2008 with four main goals: -to assist industry to be more competitive by using RFID technology for inventory and asset management; - to assist local and regional industry find new business opportunities within the RFID value chain; -to provide a vendor neutral technology adoption facility where industry can test new RFID technology prior to full adoption; and - to support industry with a highly-skilled work force by integrating RFID technology concepts into curriculum and energizing students in applied research projects.
