Radio-frequency identification (RFID) in the Automotive Industry

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) in the Automotive Industry is the use of an
object (typically referred to as an RFID tag) applied to or incorporated into a
product for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Some
tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.

Project "RFID-Odette" deals with the investigation, evaluation and development of
an automotive profile for ISO and ePC standards. The definition of a common and
uniform data structure for the employment of the RFID tags in the automotive
industry as well as the identification of user-specific demands. A goal is among other
things the definition of more uniform "Identifiers" based on investigations at different
systems and applications (e.g. ISO or ePC within the automotive sector).

Goal of project "RFID in Tray Management" is the standardisation of the employment
of RFID in the tray management of the supply chains. A uniform data structure for
transponders at small and large charge carriers is developed. For this the processes
are analyzed along the suply chain, RFID employment is documented on container
level in inbound and outbound processes. From this the standardised data structure
and the requirements will be applied on the appropriate technology.
