Dear readers,
The program of this year‘s RFID tomorrow is more
up-to-date, more informative and richer in content
than ever.
From year to year since 2011, the number of lectures
held by end users has increased.
In 2016, the automotive industry is particularly well represented,
for example by Volkswagen, Seat, and Mazda. Companies from the area of
logistics and trade logistics like Zentek, Paragon, Schnellecke, or FrieslandCampina illustrate internal processes, container management, and pool
procedures. The lecture by AIDA is very special, because it shows how RFID
integration is beginning to be used in the field of tourism and cruises.
In addition, topics from the fashion industry are represented by Vivienne
Westwood and many others.
I‘m also very pleased to introduce the healthcare-related lectures in Forum 5.
There you will hear speakers from Denmark, Finland, and Canada, as well as
from the Charité Berlin.
The whole „RFID tomorrow“ team is looking forward to a successful event,
together with all the speakers, exhibitors, and you, our participants. Your
satisfaction with the information which you gain and the contacts which you
will establish are the aims of all the actors involved in the conference.
I will be pleased to meet you at RFID tomorrow 2016 in Dusseldorf!
Yours sincerely
Anja Van Bocxlaer

How Industrial Communication and
Identification Enable the Factory of
the Future
1:00pm - 1:25pm
Selecting RFID products based on RF
characteristics: How do ISO/IEC and GS1
Standards and Recommendations help?
1:25pm - 1:50pm
Production has a long history of changes and
improvements in order to cope with modern
technologies and customer demands. The
most recent change is the trend towards digitalization of the whole factory, from the
planning phase of the factory to the product
leaving the factory. Communication and
Identification play an important role in the
success of tomorrow’s factories.
The number of used RFID products is increasing significantly. Additionally, NFC and Smart Cards, and now
UHF RFID, also known as RAIN RFID now RFID, have
booming numbers exceeding multiple billions of tags
and hundreds or thousands of readers. This session will
show you how you can select the most suitable tag and
reader for your application needs. In order to allow objective analysis, the respective ISO and GS1 standards
as well as RAIN RFID documents will be discussed.

World‘s first Passive UHF RFID Sensing
Inlays Measure Moisture and
Temperature Reliably and
Cost-Effectively
2:15pm - 2:40pm
Water intrusion is a natural enemy of car and other
manufacturing lines while incorrect temperatures are a major threat to cold-chain management,
grocery, or agricultural applications. SMARTRAC’s
innovative passive UHF RFID sensing inlays help
overcome both obstacles, as they can measure
moisture and temperatures in a reliable and costeffective way. Learn how SMARTRAC’s antenna
design expertise and RF Micron’s chip technology
enable maintenance-free and battery-free sensing solutions that have already attracted huge
attention in a wide range of markets. In addition, catch a glimpse of what RFID technology and
SMARTRAC’s solutions have to offer for the transition into “Industry 4.0”.

Advanced Antenna Solutions Enable
Flat On-Metal-Transponders Without
Spacers, Which Perform Consistently
Even at High Temperatures
2:40pm - 3:05pm
Spacers for on-metal transponders increase material costs, and thus increase transponder costs.
In addition, tags with spacers are more inflexible
and build up higher - which makes them unsuitable for many processes in the automotive and tire
production industries, for example. An innovative
antenna design or specially tuned antennas make
spacers unnecessary. The robustness of flat onmetal tags does not have to suffer, as shown by
long-term endurance tests in which the tags were
exposed to temperatures of around 200 degrees
Celsius for 20 hours a day for three months - without losses in performance.

One Solution for All Types of Access:
Hybrid Technology With Patented
Transponder Antenna Ensures
Consistent UHF and HF Performance
3:45pm - 4:10pm
RFID is set as a technology in the area of access
control. A frequent disadvantage: It takes several
transponders when UHF is used in parking access
and HF is used as access control at the building
entrance. Or a hybrid card is used, which may affect the performance and may lead to not achieving the required ranges for UHF applications in
particular. The dual technology solution provides a
remedy: HF and UHF transponders are installed in
the same card without interfering with each other
in their performance - with a patented solution
that was originally developed for textile applications.

Beyond Payment: Secure NFC
Applications and Their Relationship
With RFID
4:10pm - 4:35pm
NFC is more than just “Payment”. The mobile development and usage of NFC is a diverse ecosystem.
Some applications work inside the mobile operating system and others use NFC tags. But what is
the link between RFID and NFC and which requirements ensure this advanced capability works with
all phones? During this session, you will gain a better understanding of NFC Technology and its security aspects, and learn about a new generation
of trusted, secure NFC tags enabling new uses like
proof of presence or brand authentication.

RFID Reader Technology What Happens Next?
Background, Basics, and Outlook
4:35pm - 5:00pm
The lecture uses the example of an application
utilized by a car manufacturer to exemplify that
it is possible to support different processes and
production steps via RFID in the manufacturing
as well as in logistics, and that it can optimize the
supply chain. What would the prospective smart
factory look like in the future with regard to different technologies? This presentation surveys
recent technical research and achievements in
the field of RFID. It may also help to have a view
from different sides on the world of RFID systems. This survey examine the current status and
future approaches proposed by scientists for
possible usage of RFID systems, and considers
the social and technical context of their work.
From the Football Field to Manufacturing, Logistics, and Retail – The Benefits of Active RFID Shown in Sports Are
Very Useful in Other Areas for Realizing Tracking & Tracing Applications
5:00pm - 5:25pm
What do an American football game and an automotive production have in common? The answer is: data
from the movements in the game as well as from the
work processes can be used for optimization. Active
RFID transponders are the interface for tracking the
paths of players on the field, or to monitor the use
of tools during production. “Enterprise Assett Intelligence“ - an RTLS based on auto ID technology - creates benefits in sports as well as in the production, in
logistics, and in trade business. Every movement and
position of tagged items can also be detected over
distances of 180 meters in real-time.

Industry 4.0 Transforms Business:
CPS and Complementary Innovations as
Drivers for a Paradigm Shift in
Industrial Information Systems
1:00pm - 1:25pm
Cyber-physical systems are at the heart of Industry 4.0.
Nevertheless, complementary innovations like mobile
and cloud computing, data analytics, and digital social
networks are needed to open up the benefits and to
make the technology work. From a systems point of
view this leads to a paradigm shift in information systems. We have to expect totally new IT infrastructures
leading to data-driven “smart” services, bringing additional value to the customer and changing business models in a fundamental way. The talk first discusses examples and shows how business model thinking helps
to understand what is happening in science and industrial practice right now.

The Use of RF-Technology for the Detection
of Leakages in Automotive Production
Using a Multi-Talent RFID-Chip
1:25pm - 1:50pm
This RFID world-first lifts the quality control of finished
produced vehicles to a new level. At present, a small percentage of finished vehicles still leave the factory with
undetected leaks, despite leak testing. Thus, every day
some vehicles must be elaborately refinished. With a passive UHF-RFID and sensor-based solution this work soon
belongs to the past, because any error is detected reliably.
Several OEMs who produce around 20 percent of the cars
on the world market already test the new, fully automatic
leak-detection solution. Stationary reader gates not only
provide 100% automated control, they are also not more
expensive then handheld solutions. This provides for additional economic and procedural benefits.

RFID Tracking at its Best: Perfect
Intermodal Loading Processes at
Ford in Cologne
1:50pm - 2:15pm
About 1.700 vehicles leave the place of production in Köln/Cologne every day. So, the demand
to automate and optimize Ford‘s distribution
process is huge. However, in order to save production costs and ensure manufacturing quality, RFID systems in the automotive industry
especially need to work one hundred percent
(7 days a week, 24 hours a day). Due to that fact,
7iD Technologies will illustrate how a high risk
project like this has been successfully realized
from a system integrator‘s perspective.

3:45pm - 4:10pm
How can it be ensured that only authorized people
are permitted to access keys, access media, laptops,
expensive measurement equipment, or even weapons? How can access be ensured outside of office
hours? How can employees be freed from the burden of routine tasks and documentation requirements? RFID-based self-service solutions from KEMAS answer exactly these questions. When not in
use assets are safekept inside self-service terminals
and identified via RFID. KEMAS software controls
the flexible authorization management and processes which can be configured individually.

Inventory Accuracy and Item Locating
Combined With Improved Customer
Service and Analytics! Benelux Retailers
Have it All With Innovative Overhead
RFID Reader Technology
4:10pm - 4:35pm
Handheld based RFID deployments demonstrate
the value of RFID technology to radically improve
shop floor inventory accuracy – widely recognized
as key to a successful omni-channel strategy in fashion & apparel. But although inventory taking is
a fast process, it remains dependent on store employees, and eventually suffers from complacency
and quality degradation. Overhead reader technology makes RFID systems hands-free and additionally offers item level location and movement
information that – when combined with advanced
big data analytics – provides a wealth of information on consumer behavior in stores similar to
that achieved on-line. In this presentation, Mieloo

Raising Added Values in the Retail
Supply Chain: RFID Tunnel Readers
Accelerate Reliable Processes at
Distribution Centers
4:35pm - 5:00pm
Leading European apparel retailers rely on RFID
tunnel solutions in the distribution center (DC).
Why? Because the RFID deployment enables
the successful implementation of omni-channel strategies. RFID is the basis for ensuring an
integrated process automation from the DC to
the POS. Exclusive insights into implemented
solutions illustrate as examples of how the use
of RFID improves shipment accuracy, reduces
workloads and costly vendor chargebacks, and
increases throughput at store operations.
Omni Channel Enabled by NFC and
RAIN RFID (UHF) – The Solution for
Enhanced Customer Experience and
Increasing Sales
5:00pm - 5:25pm
Why does an NFC tag, that is applied on products in
addition to a pre-existing UHF tag, increase the consumer experience while shopping and simultaneously boost the e-commerce? Because NFC is the „missing link“: UHF RFID has its benefits for the supply
chain management and the inventory transparency
in the stores, but only with NFC can the customer be
actively involved while shopping. If a product is not
available in the desired color or size, the customer
can order it at the online shop of the store via smartphone by tapping the NFC sticker. An authenticity
check of products via NFC is possible as well.

From Vision to Reality: Magna Steyr is
on Its Way to the Smart factory With
RFID & Others
10:40am - 11:05am
To improve the production, the virtual factory
interacts with real factory in real time at Magna Steyr in Graz. The collected information is
analyzed on innovation potential using big data
algorithms and then optimized in real-time simulations. The results are reported back to the
production and are implemented simultaneously.
RFID technology makes it possible to generate a
holistic integrated solution for sharing information. As a result, RFID is already used in containers,
in FTS and in real-time tracking of vehicles in the
yard management on the manufacturing site. For
the future, an RFID gate is planned that identifies
the supplier components via transponders.

and Upcoming Activities
11:05am - 11:30am
RFID in prototype construction, transponders on
workpiece carriers in the assembly of petrol engines
at the plant in Salzgitter, or RFID wristbands being
tested in logistics - Volkswagen has committed itself to the topic of RFID for quite some time now.
The company promotes the use of RFID in different
divisions. The examples mentioned above are only
a small excerpt of RFID activities at Volkswagen,
which are always driven with regard to standardized
and scalable solutions. The presentation gives an
overview of current projects and looks into the future to outline where RFID technology can be used
for process optimization in plants of the Volkswagen Group worldwide.

RFID Optimizes Processes Along
the Entire Value-Added Process
11:30am - 11:55am
The entire value-added process of bumper production, injection moulding, painting, and assembly is
controlled and documented via RFID labels. Also
the subsequent logistical processes – the transport
to the final assembly factory and the delivery sequences – are managed by RFID.
One of the car manufacturers also uses the RFID
labels to optimize his own processes. A second area
of application is the charge carrier management.

11:55am - 12:20pm
Tracking of reusable and disposable carriers in production logistics, labeling of components which
must be documented, and currently planned
projects in tool management and for the tracking of
equipment - RFID plays a major role in the production of the Airbus A380 and for the service thereafter. Whether the identified object remains on the
ground or flies along is the deciding factor when
it comes to what technologies are used in which
processes. The demands are high regarding “flyable
tags“ in particular. If they fulfill the demands, the
documentation of the installed components gets
significantly optimized, for example.

Smart Products From Nokia With RFID
Inside: Benefits From Manufacturing to
Recycling – The Worldwide
Implementation Is Driven Forward
3:25pm - 3:50pm
Nothing less than a global standard which is easy to
adapt – this is the objective for Nokia’s supply chain
following the implementation of its carefully
planned Industry 4.0 transition strategy. RFID technology takes a key role in this future concept. The
basic idea is to offer an end-to-end traceable
product through the use of RFID in Nokia’s products.
The RFID transponder will not only hold data related
to the production process steps, but also logistics
and customer service data will be available throughout the product lifecycle. The assumption that
Industry 4.0 can only be implemented when the
products themselves are intelligent, is the basis of
Nokia‘s Industry 4.0 strategy.

RFID@BOSCH: The Bumpy Road To an
Integrated Asset Management at
Robert Bosch Group
3:50pm - 4:15pm
18,000 assets, from desks to industrial robots, must
be inventoried regularly at the Bosch plant in Feuerbach and must be allocated to the corresponding
cost centers as well. A time-consuming process: a 20
percent partial check by two employees sometimes
takes six weeks. In particular, the time needed to
search for the objects to be inventoried is a crucial
factor. With the development of an “RFID trolley“
the inventory period has been reduced to three
hours. The RFID-based inventory happens virtually
while passing. Another main aspect of this approach
is the full integration of the “asset master” source
system, e.g. SAP. Therefore the loop is clamped
between SAP and the “RFID trolley”. A side aspect
of the RFID tagged assets is the full coverage of
maintenance orders as well as the application of individual machine IDs in Industry 4.0 (Virtualization

to Cyber Physical Systems). The solution that
was developed in Feuerbach - consisting of software, process description, and UHF RFID hardware - will now be gradually rolled out to more
than 250 Bosch plants worldwide.

RFID@Seat: How an Automotive Manufacturer Benefits From Optimized Processes
- in Outbound Logistics, for Example
10:40am - 11:05am
Seat uses RFID technology at the interface between
production and logistics: after the assembly, in the
finishing processes of automotive vehicles up until
the delivery. All logistical processes on the factory
premises are coordinated and monitored with an
RFID shipping label. The aim of the RFID implementation is the improved control of the logistics processes to obtain vehicle information in real-time.
In case of a parking space vacancy the RFID solution transmits the current status to the system. The
result: An improvement of the use of space and
resources, as well as the control and localization of
vehicles on the factory premises.

RFID Optimizes Just-In-Time Logistics
of Schnellecke for the Automotive
Industry in Wolfsburg and Bratislava
11:30am - 11:55am
Mazda Europe implemented an RFID solution for
tagging all returnable assets arriving in the production and leaving it. The goal was to reduce manual
processes, to increase the registration processes,
to reduce mistakes and to optimize the tracking
and tracing of assets. Before the implementation
of the solution all assets had to be scanned manually one by one. Finding the right tag and and
the right position of the tag for different types of
assets is one of the challenges of a RFID solution.
The lecture gives an overview of inbound and outbound processes at Mazda Europe as well as of the
implented solution and its benefits.
RFID-based and paperless! The automotive logistics service provider Schnellecke firmly integrated
this concept in the just-in-time processes of its logistics centers in Bratislava and in Leipzig. Around
50,000 parts leave the logistics center of Schnellecke in Bratislava “just in time“ per day. This is one
of 47 locations of the logistics service provider
worldwide for the automotive industry and one
of two logistic centers where the subassembly
processes and the sequencing operate based on
RFID. And the RFID development at Schnellecke
is not finished yet - further applications are in the
concrete planning stage.

RFID in the Crossfire Between Data Protection and Innovation in Hospitals:
New Challenges From the EU General Data Protection Regulation and What
Has to be Considered in Hospital Routines for the Future
10:40am - 11:05am
The possible application scenarios of RFID in hospitals are endless. But with all the opportunities
for innovation and the possible application scenarios of RFID, it is important that the protection
of data and information to be processed is guaranteed by those who are responsible. Especially
when the processed RFID data can be related to
an identifiable person, it is vital to protect this
data on the basis of appropriate data protection
standards. In Europe, no single data protection
law exists so far, which is why the use of RFID
must be evaluated differently in the different
Member States. However, the existence of different national data protection laws and their
applications may change significantly because of
the provisions of the EU General Data Protection
Regulation (EU GDPR) in two years. Because of
RFID and Privacy in Hospitals
Gerald Spyra

protection, medical device law

this, RFID-use in European hospitals must be
re-evaluated especially as regards to its implications for privacy / data protection.
Sunnybrook Hospital Toronto:
RFID in the OR Area Prevents
Bottlenecks - a New Level of Patient Care
11:05am - 11:30am
Sunnybrook Hospital has installed UHF long range
readers in 19 of the 20 operating rooms and in adjacent areas. The aim was to track the approximately
13,500 annual surgical patients on their way to the
operating room and back to the ward, to document
the time it takes and to prevent bottlenecks. A
unique ID number is assigned to each patient. This anonymous number is used to inform family members
about the status of a patient’s operations. Similar to
an airport departure board there are monitors in the
waiting area. Waiting family members get updated
information on the progress of the operation, without having to ask OR staff, in real time.

In 2015 two parallel projects were launched at two different locations, each with the aim of documenting the
product life cycles of dental handpieces and contra-angles from the dental clinic on the one hand and document
rigid endoscopic optics thoroughly on the other hand.
The transponders are detected both at the beginning
of the preparation during the loading process of the
cleaning equipment as well as in the packaging prior to
the sterilization. In the application, antenna reader combinations are used that are integrated via LAN into the
network. The employee simply has to hold the instrument that is going to be cleaned in front of the antenna.
The limited read range ensures that only one instrument
is recognized at a time. The system achieves very good
results when cleaning with mild alkaline cleaners and during thermal disinfection and steam sterilization.

future updates. The hospital’s former access control system was thirteen years old when it was replaced. By the
end of its lifecycle, it had grown increasingly difficult to
secure replacement parts for the system. Consequently, Rikshospitalet wanted their new system to be designed cost-effective, with a built-in anticipation of future
needs, updates, and evolution.

3:50pm - 4:15pm
Garment supply is crucial to Hospital workflows as epidemiological studies have revealed healthcare apparel to be the
next important challenge to controlling the transmission of
infection in healthcare settings. With many thousands of transactions per day the availability and traceability of goods and
transparency of workflows is of major importance. The use
of laundry-dedicated UHF RFID transponders with technical
assistance of innovative dispensing and collection systems
provides a holistic view and single piece real-time identification of textile goods. Introduction of multiple or even permanent monitoring of inventory in different locations (upstream
stock- and processing units to downstream usage points) can
help strengthen resilience against classic challenges in textile
services, e.g. volatility of demand, out of stock situations etc.,
thus resulting in more effective hygiene management.
