Identification and sensing technologies
In this video various sensing and identification technologies and their application in the logistics and transport industries will be presented.
Barcode is a commonly used method for identification. This method needs visual contact. Another technology is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). It does not need any direct contact between the tag and the reader. A more recent technology is Near Field Communication (NFC).
In addition to identification, sensing is also very important. There is the idea of a smart dust, a network of tiny sensors, robots, or devices installed with wireless communications that can detect anything from light and temperature to vibration and et cetera.
