Preface Herbert Wegmann Herbert Wegmann is the manager of the Factory Sensors Division at Siemens AG, Industry Sector. Moreover, he is entrusted with the management of the group-wide AG RFID initiative. RFID – the abbreviation for Radio Frequency Identification – has a real magic meaning. Contactless identification of all kinds of objects with electronically writeable data carriers in the absolutely low cost area with ranges of several meters provides an opportunity for several new applications: the ideas range from remote control systems for logistics centers (“internet of things”) to an intelligent refrigerator that can automatically order goods. However, contactless radio identification is not innovation as such and has been in use for industrial applications for a long time now. As a leading manufacturer of RFID systems, Siemens introduced the first industrial RFID system to the market 25 years ago. Moby M – the name of this first product – achieved a read distance between the transponder and antenna of, at most, 40 mm. However, the data carriers already had a storage capacity of 64 bytes. In the meantime, RFID is used successfully in several areas. However, despite the dynamism displayed by the development of RFID, it is not the only option available for identifying all kinds of objects. Optical codes such as barcodes – as printed on all consumer goods in supermarkets – are admittedly seen as outdated. However, the specific advantages of the optical processes that, for example, take effect with the 2D matrix code, can justifiably compete with RFID systems in some of their applications. Technology fascinates people and is the key to economic progress. However, technology with no application focus only follows an end in itself. Therefore, this book takes a look at both aspects: technical basics and successful applications. In doing so, the issue here is how existing processes can be optimized by using RFID and optical codes, 5
Preface reducing costs, and increasing quality. Several chapters describe how automatic identification systems can be applied in a technically reliable and economically viable manner – from the factory floor to hospitals. I am proud of the fact that the authors who have compiled such an exceptional scope in terms of content are all employees at our company or at least worked for Siemens previously for several years. Their contributions clearly emphasize Siemens’ technological and solution expertise for RFID and Auto ID. Therefore, my sincere thanks go to all of the authors and the editorial team of Norbert Bartneck, Volker Klaas, and Holger Schoenherr. Special thanks also go to Leslie Miller, Michael LaGrega and Markus Weinlaender and Kerstin Springer for their project management and comprehensive editorial work. 6
