RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow
The Biggest RFID and Wireless IoT Event in Europe
The handling of blood and tissue samples – regardless of whether they are being transported or directly from sample receipt to examination in the laboratory – is unfortunately still prone to errors today despite extensive documentation and extensive safety precautions. Mix-ups happen or samples become unusable due to improper handling, or even manipulation.
But that doesn't have to be the case!
More than 20 million patient cases were treated in German hospitals in 2007, at the same time, the expenditure for healthcare exceeded the threshold of 1 billion euros per day in this year. How can patients be taken care of more safely, better and more efficient and simultaneously, how can the increase in expenditure be restricted? Furthermore, the amount in patients and expenditure increase globally.
Digitalisation in healthcare by RFID and Wireless IoT solutions is one of the most important topics in the sector. IoT applications offer wide-range potential in order to optimize processes, to cut costs and to improve patient care.
Autumn 2018: The digital transformation from cities to smart cities is on the rise. RFID & Wireless IoT are the key technologies to solve the challenges of cities, administrations, citizens, associations and companies on this way into the future:
Crossing the line between online and offline shopping is increasingly fluid. According to a customer survey by the IFH Köln in March 2017, information research on the Internet precedes the final purchase in 51 percent of the total volume in stationary retail, which amounts to approximately 135 billion euros. Vice versa, 19.5 percent or 8.3 billion euros of the total volume in online shops result from information research in stationary retail stores.
Which concepts, technologies and solutions respond to the questions of future trade and retail?
The automotive industry is booming: In the first quarter of 2018, 878,600 new cars were registered in Germany according to the German Association of Automotive Industry, VDA. This has been the quarter with the highest amount of newly registered cars since 2000. All around the globe, comparable developments can be observed.
However, the change in the automotive industry cannot be overseen and will urge companies to rethink their business models. Trends like e-mobility and autonomous driving require technological innovations in the supply chain.
What do solutions for these challenges look like?
Developing new business models, leading the industrial production into the future, implementing cost reductions, counteracting the lack of specialists through automation, tapping into new markets and increasing one's lead over the competition. Ambitious targets. And questions of the future cannot be overseen.
The RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow offers on User Day answers and solution approaches from multiple perspectives.
Waiting for baggage at the baggage carousel, possibly in vain, causes millions of passengers around the world discomfort and stress every day. SITA’S Baggage Report informs about the number of mishandled bags: Between 2007 and the end of 2016. However, each lost or misrouted piece of luggage generates costs of around 100 dollars per suitcase or bag. In 2016 alone, these costs for airlines amounted to 2.1 billion dollars.
With RFID no more bag is lost!
On the Developer Day in Forum 2 the topics of BLE, LPWAN, sensory technology, and RFID (LF, HF/NFC, UHF, and hybrid solutions) take the spotlight in the speakers' lectures. One point of discussion is the combination of different technologies with the goal of finding the most effective automation solution.
The presentations put the future of contactless data transfer as well as hardware developments in readers, antennas, ICs and transponders, printers, and handhelds at the centre of attention. What is the state of the art? What market developments can be mapped with the newest technological innovations? What is the performance of today’s wireless hardware? Standard design or custom-made – how much individuality is necessary? These and other key questions and their answers take centre stage in the Technology & Hardware Forum.
GPS-based navigation is useful in everyday life, but not precise enough for visually impaired people. On shopping streets, one shop follows the next in close distances. Therefore, it needs high-resolution systems to facilitate the localization of the entrance that the person is looking for.
Europe's largest technology & solutions event highlights the boundless possibilities of RFID and Wireless IoT. Numerous top international speakers will present exclusive insights into exciting projects in the 10 specialist forums over the two congress days – October 30th and 31st.
