| RFID technology for Waste Management |
Initiative |
Wed. 1 Dec. 2010 |
Greece |
Costs that are related with the collection, transport, disposal or alternative management of urban solid waste are continuously increased; also the allocated areas for waste’s deposition are shrinking with the time, while at the same time the interest of consumers for the recycling is permanently increased.
Under these conditions, information that is collected from the combined usage of fleet management system, RFID technology and dynamic reporting of waste weight during the collection, leads to useful conclusions on waste management. The usage of RFID technology in waste management, gives to municipalities the possibility to promote advanced recycling programs and it is used for many applications in order to automate the processes and to prevent from errors in various levels.

The aim of the activity was proposing and validating a solution for the automatic management of the industrial processes exploiting the traceability of objects and services within a partner company and the asset management in terms of the input-output monitoring of goods and components. The development included the design and prototypal implementation of a complete architecture, considering interrelationship of the physical layer of the RFID technological infrastructure with the logical layer that monitors the location of materials (raw, semi-finished and finished goods) in order to organise and control the production flow |

Italy |
In the Trieste’s harbour, in collaboration with the local authorities, has been installed a containers tracking system. The system was designed to solve the problem of containers loss: although these articles are considerable big, it often happened that the management lost the information on the actual presence or absence in the harbour. The system was successfully tested for several months. |
| Smart cane for blind people |
Initiative |
Wed. 22 Sep. 2010 |
Italy |
The project has led to the realization of a system helping visually impaired people in getting around by foot, offering them a smart RFID enhanced cane. This cane, quite similar to a normal one, is able to communicate with a rubber path positioned on the floor. The path is the same already used in hospitals, airports, stations to drive blind people across complex buildings. The developed solution was the focus of a trial conducted within an eye diseases specialized hospital (“Ospedale Oftalmico di Torino”). |
| Using Active RFID to Monitors Railcars |
Initiative |
Mon. 28 Jun. 2010 |
Sweden |
Swedish Steel is using a radio frequency identification system to monitor the shipment of steel slabs. In 2008, the steelmaker began mounting active RFID tags to some 400 railcars used to transport steel slabs from its facility in the city of Luleå to one in Borlänge, about 900 kilometers away, and also from a facility in Oxelösund. The system is helping the company make sure that the right cars are being loaded with the correct materials, as well as identify the cars' locations.
Swedish Steel is using custom-designed active RFID tags and readers from Swedish systems integrator and technology provider Adage Solutions. |
