We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RFID Technology",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Random orbital sanders meet vibration directive from
3M Abrasive Systems Division, which we summarised at the time by saying "Designed from 'first principles', a range of air-powered random orbital sanders has good vibratory performance allowing workers to work comfortably for longer".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release As well as tracking, RFID finds more uses from
IDC - Intelligent Distributed Controls: "A short range wireless personal area network can be used for tracking, and, it must be said, a great many other things besides, writes Kevin Buckley".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Wittmann UK
concerning its Robots, automation systems
- take a look at Plastics moulding includes gravimetric blending
which says: "Provider of plastics manufacturing equipment will be showing robots, automation systems, in-mould labelling as well as granulators, material handling and gravimetric blending".
Take a look also at the news release from Invensys Process Systems, Wireless enabled condition monitoring,
as well as Inventory management with RFID technology from Crown Lift Trucks,
and RFID vibration and temperature monitoring from Schaeffler (UK).
