New York State Drivers License

Was just reading a good article about New York State Drivers License with RFID embedded in it. Although the story is about a year old it is a good read.

RFID In Drivers License.

It just shows you that some ideas are good and some not so much. I am not sure if NY has already done this as they are way behind on everything they do.

Registration Open for RFID Journal LIVE! 2010

Here is the Press release for the RFID Journal Live

The RFID industry’s largest and most important conference and exhibition, being held on April 14-16 in Orlando, Fla., will feature three co-located events designed to deliver additional value to attendees.

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 28, 2009 — RFID Journal announced today that registration is now open for RFID Journal LIVE! 2010 (www.rfidjournalevents.com/live), the world’s premier conference and exhibition focused on radio frequency identification (RFID) and its many business applications. Motorola is the Cornerstone and Registration sponsor for the event, which will include three co-located events on Apr. 14: the Auto-ID Conference, IEEE RFID 2010 and the Aerospace RFID Summit.

RFID Journal LIVE! 2010, the eighth annual event produced by RFID Journal, will be held on Apr. 14-16 at the Orange Country Convention Center, in Orlando, Fla. The event will feature eight industry-specific and level-of-expertise conference tracks, eight in-depth preconference seminars, fast-track CompTIA RFID+ training and certification, and the RFID Journal Awards, as well as numerous technology exhibits and demonstrations conducted by the leading technology firms. This year’s program will include more than 75 hours of educational programming, more than 50 end-user case studies and more than 175 technology companies, so you can learn how to solve your business problems in one convenient location.

“It’s clear that RFID technology has matured to the point where companies can now invest in solutions that provide true business visibility,” said Mark Roberti, RFID Journal’s founder and editor. “Companies can now track and manage mobile assets, inventory, tools, vehicles and individuals in a way that was never before possible. The data RFID systems provides allows them to optimize their business processes.”

The three co-located events are designed to provide added value to attendees, by enabling them to access additional education sessions.

Auto-ID Conference

This one-day conference is designed for executives looking to understand how automatic-identification technologies other than RFID can help solve their business problems. Sessions will cover the various types of bar codes, contact memory buttons, bokodes, Microsoft Tags, RF-resonant inks and more. This conference will also address how various auto-ID technologies can be integrated to provide seamless visibility for managers.

IEEE RFID 2010

The 2010 IEEE International Conference on RFID is the leading technical conference for researchers, developers, integrators and vendors to discuss and expand their knowledge of technologies, systems, networks, algorithms and applications of RF-based wireless communications and identification systems. IEEE RFID 2010 will provide critical insights into the research currently underway that will drive future advances in radio frequency identification.

Aerospace RFID Summit

This workshop will provide a unique opportunity to understand the fundamentals of RFID technology, and will explore how the technology is being applied in the aerospace sector. Participants will take away key learnings in the following subject areas: technology basics, including overviews of physics, hardware and software; business and use cases of RFID for aerospace and defense; and standards and regulations that are key to effective deployments.

“We are extremely excited about next year’s event,” Roberti said. “More companies understand the value RFID can provide, and we are pleased to be able to help them determine which system will offer the visibility they need to improve the way they do business. The three co-located events will offer attendees even more value.”

Our RFID Database of Articles

I get quite a few emails asking about RFID as you can imagine. More times then most it is from a new employee that is trying to save the new company money so they come out looking like a shining star to their new boss.

Most of the time the employee has just graduated college and was put into a job in the supply chain division and they have no clue as to how to proceed. I feel sorry for them, they didn’t study this in college and now they are placed in an awkward position of learning on the fly.

I usually send them to our RFID Articles page and let them read up a bit. After a few days they come back and ask much better questions about how RFID works and how they can implement it into their new company. I am always glad to help out but the questions I get from the outset are quite funny. I love answering them once they get a quick learning about RFID and how it works. It makes the lessons so much less painful for me.
