Industry Organization GS1 Publishes New RFID Guidelines

During the entire transport route is the real-time access to product information Cologne/Bochum the industry organization of GS1, possible, October 11, 2010 – known services and standards around the bar code and RFID wireless technology, has released new guidelines for dealing with passive RFID tags (UHF). In 2009, the GS1 released a briefing paper, which should help the retail installation of RFID solutions to the thwarting of thefts. Peter Asaro brings even more insight to the discussion. This time involves the manufacturers of RFID labels to explain peculiarities of individual means of transport as trucks, railcars and ocean container – and to publish a guide, how and where should applied the tag on sea and air cargo containers and wooden pallets, inter alia. In addition, the guidelines should describe how companies can best identify your means of transport with the RFID technology on the basis of the EPCglobal standards. Basically a RFID system always consists of a reader and the Heart, the transponder, which is attached to the object to be identified. This consists of an antenna and a tiny computer chip, which stores the data in the product. Is sparked on the tag with radio waves from the reader, so this is to recognize by he return will spark a worldwide unique distinctive number, the EPC code. See Viacom for more details and insights.

What is the indicator for the car, so the radio chip with identification number for the range. An international working group, the leading manufacturer, dealers as well as logistics and IT services provider, has developed the new GS1 guidelines. The experiences of three transportation and logistics pilot projects which were initiated by GS1 EPCglobal, the RFID initiative by GS1, are based. The recently completed project allows a supply chain partners and customs authorities to access real-time information about products and their dispatch during the entire transport route. Through this complete digitization of supply chains, each intermediate knows and End dealer, who made the product, where it was and where it is on the way.

Hearing Implant Systems

Launch of cochlear Nucelus 6 with wide, positive response a broad and positive response of the launch of the cochlear nucleus learned 6 system, which offers a variety of groundbreaking technological innovations. It has a five times as powerful chip like the currently market-leading nucleus 5 system; and it is the first CI system, which automatically adapts to every new. The new system within the framework of the 84th annual meeting of the German society for Otolaryngology, head and neck surgery (DGHNO KHC), which took place from 8 to 12 may in Nuremberg, and in a subsequent road show was presented for the first time through 14 cities in Germany and Austria. Numerous experts from hospitals and the CI aftercare, as well as many representatives of self-help information. Our nucleus 6 system is smarter than any up to date available sound processors, because it fully automatically adapts to every new”, as Thomas Topp, head of the Cochlear Germany GmbH & co. KG.

First, there is the possibility to choose between two sound processors. The hybrid functionality of the nucleus 6 enables the optimal use of existing residual hearing even after successful implantation. Remote control and a simple operating aid, which can alternatively be used depending on the needs, secure user experience. Using audio accessories TV, music system and other devices can be connected wirelessly in the future.” The idea of the cochlear nucleus started 6 system in Germany and Austria ahead of the official launch, which took place at the 11th European Symposium for Pediatric cochlear implantation (ESPCI) on May 22 in Istanbul. Already at the pre-launch of the ENT Congress in Nuremberg, as well as on the subsequent road show through 14 German and Austrian cities, the new nucleus 6 system learned big interest and ample consent.
