Hitachi Develops RFID-based Nuclear Power Plant Construction Technologies

Tokyo, Jan 20, 2006 (JCN) - Hitachi announced on January 20 that it has developed radio frequency identification (RFID)-based technologies applicable to nuclear power plant construction.Specifically, the company has developed two new systems, an RFID tag system used in the processes of manufacturing and installing pipes, and an RFID-based cable connection navigation system. With the RFID tag system, RFID tags are attached to construction materials as they are delivered so they can be efficiently monitored in distribution management. Subsequently, it will lead to preventing human errors and ensuring the traceability of the materials used. The navigation system uses RFID tags attached to both cable cores and end terminals to simplify cable connection work and help workers easily check for errors when they connect cables. Going forward, Hitachi plans to proceed with research, focusing on the establishment of rules of using RFID tags, the integration of the tags into the existing systems, and the development of basic technologies including metal-compliant antenna. Through these means, Hitachi aims to contribute to the development of next-generation nuclear power plants.

Wow~` all about rfid and finger print

"The fingerprint reader, designed specifically to be intuitive and reliable, is available in three products: Optical Desktop with Fingerprint Reader, Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer with Fingerprint Reader and the stand- alone Microsoft Fingerprint Reader"

Actually this RFID news website is very useful, There are just so much information here!!

Here is very intersting story about how RFID is being used at the school to take attendances..
I guess no more skip for them!!! :))

"With the InCom's system, RFID readers are installed over classroom doorways to detect when students enter or exit. "
"A California startup developed an RFID system to help teachers take roll call, but called off an in-school pilot after it incited protests from parents and advocacy groups."

Here it is the website for this article!! check it out!

About RIFD and "Internet of THings"

Hey guys,
This website has pretty good information about RFID and general knowledge of what internet of things is... so check it out. The privacy issues are brought up which I think this is the most problematic concerns with RFID and internet of things. ... Very Interesting!!!
