Intelligent RFID Label for Transport Monitoring
At the Hannover Messe 2009, researchers from the Fraunhofer Facility for Electronic Nanosystems (ENAS) will be presenting an intelligent RFID label that is suitable for monitoring the transportation of high-quality goods.
During the transport, the label records temperature, inclination and vibrations. A sensor system allows the data to be logged, saved and read at any time via RFID. The label is a result of the BMBF (German Federal Ministry for Education and Research) cooperative ASIL project, in which Fraunhofer ENAS has worked together with the partners KSW Microtec, ELMOS Semiconductor AG, Schenker Deutschland AG, memsfab GmbH and the Chemnitz Technical University Center for Microtechnologies.
