EURO ID 2009 is the only European cross-sector Auto-ID trade fair. It has grown successfully into a key communication platform of the Auto-ID market. In 2009 focus will be on developing this foundation further. Auto-ID covers identification technologies like barcode, 2D code, 3D code and RFID as well as sensor technologies, software systems and services.
Cross-sector and cross-company approach
Auto ID technologies continue to play a leading role on the way to the Internet of the future and the Internet of things in particular. Data should be available to authorised users in real-time and should be made accessible everywhere, at any time of the day and irrespective of the existing IT infrastructure. It must be possible to process these data when and where they are required by the business operation. Such a capability forms the bedrock of industry solutions and cross-sector and cross-company systems. Innovative Auto-ID products provided by specialised SME contribute essentially to the global deployment of IT systems for internationally operating users like logistics services providers and companies e.g. in the automotive, consumer goods and pharmaceutical sectors.

Focus on solutions and applications
Auto-ID elements play a major role in modern production control (e.g. Just in Sequence (JIS)), in Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) in intra- and extra-logistics and in the trading business. Methods like pick-by-voice systems in stock and order control are now being completed by automated validation of the production order by means of RFID tags. Especially for the management of products, containers, pallets and racks RFID provides a huge potential for the cost-effective use of circulating receptacles, reduces capital tie-up and enhances transparency in corporate financial reporting. Moreover the use of RFID and the 2D code has been expanding systematically in electronic document management.

Elatec offers a broad range of RFID components as well as complete RFID solutions including consulting, implementation, application support, and after sales service.
