Your drive to digital innovation

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:

• Safe, convenient, and sustainable urban living,
• Data is the power of the smart city,
• Cybersecurity for smart grids,
• Energy-efficient mobility concepts,
• Sharing economy: business models, platforms, resources,
• Interaction: people and IoT in the city, at university, and on the move.

Product innovation: UHF compact reader with special ring antenna for absolutely reliable vehicle detection

FEIG presents in the exhibition the new LRU500i UHF compact reader for the first time in Europe at RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow. The UHF reader with integrated antenna and traffic light, built into a robust housing suitable for outdoor use, opens up innovative possibilities for use in vehicle detection applications.

The specially developed ring antenna enables the secure capture of UHF labels regardless of their orientation in the reader's reading field.

Your drive to digital innovation

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?

RFID and Wireless IoT: Key technologies for the logistics & supply chain of the future

Implementing digitisation concepts has never been easier, cheaper, or more promising than now in autumn 2018. All the required hardware and software tools are available. The localisation of goods in real time, seamless condition monitoring of objects in global supply chains, the automation of intralogistics processes – everything can now be run digitally, transparently, and sustainably. These and numerous other process innovations are not distant dreams of the future, but tangible realities, as the experts will demonstrate at the Logistics & Supply Chain forum on 30th October in darmstadtium.

Logistics companies, manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers – anyone who wants to be technologically up to date should be there! Get your ticket today for RFID & Wireless IoT tomorrow 2018! Convince yourself in the detailed program.

Lost baggage: a serious challenge

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!

RFID and Wireless IoT: Key technologies for the industrial production of the future

Access to digitisation has never been easier, cheaper, or more promising than now in autumn 2018. Modular manufacturing concepts, lot sizes of 1 in mass production, predictive maintenance – everything digital, transparent, and sustainable. These and numerous other innovations are not distant dreams of the future, but tangible realities, as the experts will demonstrate at the Industrial IoT & Maintenance forum on 30th October in darmstadtium.

UHF-RFID elevates the navigation for the blind and visually impaired to a new level.

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.

RFID & Wireless IoT eliminate bottlenecks in the transport and handling of specimens!

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!

Optimal digitization of processes

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.
