Rfid Applications In Manufacturing Draft 7laser1971
RFID applications in manufacturing have evolved beyond just attaching tags to items. Middleware is used to filter redundant tag data and translate it into a format usable by applications. Current common applications are driven by external mandates to attach tags for tracking shipments. Many companies take a "slap and ship" approach where tags are attached by third parties. However, RFID also enables in-house applications like tracking tools and parts on the factory floor. Further applications could integrate RFID with production systems for mixed-model assembly and inventory management. Wider adoption faces challenges from the lower costs of established barcode technology.
Net-Enabled Test Environment: a Federated Approach to Establishing an Inter-a...Wen Zhu
The document discusses an approach to improving information sharing for Next Generation air transportation systems (NextGen). It outlines challenges with current information sharing, and proposes a semantic service-oriented architecture approach using ontologies, web services, and a federated infrastructure. This would include developing shared understandings through domain ontologies, a technical capabilities stack to enable discovery and access, and an interagency test environment to demonstrate and validate the approach. The goal is to specify services that can drive acquisition of interoperable systems to support information exchange.
RFID has applications beyond just tags that exchange data with readers. Middleware is needed to filter data from tags and translate it into a format usable by software applications. Current manufacturing applications of RFID are mainly driven by external mandates for tracking goods, but RFID has potential for more in-house uses like mistake-proofing assembly and integrating with kanban systems. For many applications currently, the costs of RFID have not outweighed the low costs of barcodes, but RFID is improving.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Robin van Emden, Senior Director of Data Science at Network Optix, presents the “Building and Scaling AI Applications with the Nx AI Manager,” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, van Emden covers the basics of scaling edge AI solutions using the Nx tool kit. He emphasizes the process of developing AI models and deploying them globally. He also showcases the conversion of AI models and the creation of effective edge AI pipelines, with a focus on pre-processing, model conversion, selecting the appropriate inference engine for the target hardware and post-processing.
van Emden shows how Nx can simplify the developer’s life and facilitate a rapid transition from concept to production-ready applications.He provides valuable insights into developing scalable and efficient edge AI solutions, with a strong focus on practical implementation.
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.
