Keynote (08:30 - 11:35)
08:30 - 08:45 "RFID 2009-2019: State of the Market and its Future"
- RFID forecasts by application type
- RFID progress by territory
- Analysis of the Market landscape and trends
- Hot sectors
- RFID opportunities
- Automatic Real-Time Business Information Management
- Strategy, Scope and Implementation
- Why is Gray market dangerous for "Made in Italy"
- How G&P net implemented RFID to protect their products from the Gray Market: process and technical details
- Benefit and ROI of the application
In the scene of finished-vehicle logistics today, IT technology has spread widely but still has few applications in manual operations on-site. One of the important remaining on-site issues is the visual recognition of particular vehicles by human (drivers') eyes.
Through this project, we will develop a new concept slip for finished-vehicle logistics by using active RFID with display function. This new concept will be more competitive than current auto-ID technologies such as barcodes, passive RFID, etc.
This project is being supervised by Monohakobi Technology Institute (MTI), a 100% subsidiary of the global logistics company Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK Line), in cooperation with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) and with financial support from the Japanese government.
