Auditorium 1 One For All - A Common Interface for Auto-ID Devices | Olaf Wilmsmeier, Wilmsmeier Solutions
OPC UA is the communication standard of the automation industry! Almost no provider for this industry and almost no machine manufacturer who does not offer an OPC UA interface. A common interface for all auto-ID devices is the goal. Manufacturer and auto-ID technology independent. Connected Products with Item-Level Traceability, Driving Retail Transformation | Rob Pick, Avery Dennison. The lack of transparency in supply chains, and the disconnect between raw materials, manufacturers, and retailers, has generated serious concerns about wastage, sustainability, ethical practices, and consumer trust. Connected products and digital IDs make item-level traceability and transparency of the entire supply chain possible, where every product and the materials that make them have a digital identity from day one.

Learn about the important uses of Ultracode and the future of this symbology standard.
Lots of Changes in the ISO Bar Code World | Sprague Ackley, Digimarc. Big changes in print quality measurement and lots of new symbologies, plus possibly, the future of bar code in the wings. This session is important for anyone using bar codes today and or thinking of taking the next step tomorrow.
How High-quality Product Content Drives Consumer Commerce Engagement | Michele Larson, Schwan's and Scott Brown, 1WorldSync. As 2020 marked the year of the “grocer games,” with online grocery sales nearly doubling from 2019, products need to have a complete set of online content to compete in a post-pandemic world. Using the new guidelines around the US FDA's Nutrition Fact Panel (NFP), suppliers are better able to influence and engage consumers on their path to nutritional purchases with high-quality content and interactive images. By using automated product content management through “buy online, pick up in store” and other purchase models impacting consumers, suppliers can successfully grow commerce and stay competitive.
Use of MQTT Communication for Pushing Traceability Data into Cloud Based Applications | Doug Browne, Omron Automation. As manufacturers increase their use of Cloud Based Applications including data historians, being able to communicate efficiently using communication methods desired by the hosting platforms such as AWS and Azure is required. Using typical automation controllers which are connected to auto-id devices such as barcode readers or RFID reader/writers it is possible to use MQTT communication protocol to provide efficient, low cost bi-directional communication. This session will give examples of the architecture, typical products, and discuss considerations for use when communicating traceability information to such cloud based platforms.
The Problem of “Tag Clutter” and What the RAIN Alliance is Doing to Tackle the Problem | Megan Brewster, Impinj and Chris Brown, Printronix. With the growth of RAIN RFID deployments comes tag clutter, where end users are unable to filter “my tags for my application” from other’s tags/other applications. In this two-part presentation, the speakes will explain what is tag clutter, how using a standardized numbering system is part of the solution, and what the RAIN Alliance is doing to further alleviate the problem.

How Millions of Tires are Source Tagged | Teemu Ainasoja, Voyantic and Randall Grein, Hana RFID. Nowadays you can take a specially designed tyre tag and bake it in a tyre. Getting this far wasn't simple. Hana Technologies and Voyantic will share a story of how the source tagging of tires was enabled, and how volumes of millions of tires with embedded tags were reached. A lot has been learned and developed on the way. Effects of tyre structure on RFID had to be understood. Suitable quality control methods had to be designed. New kind of production lines had to be built. And all the solutions had to be multiplied into production volumes. What were the keys to success? Fast forward to present times, and: just take a tag and bake it in a tyre!
