I visited a really interesting centre today in Halifax for the Digital 2010 meeting. The European Centre of Excellence Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) offers impartial advice and access to AIDC technologies. AIDC, as explained on the site:
” is a subject better known through its constituent technologies, such as bar coding, two-dimensional coding, magnetic encoding and electronic coding, including the much vaunted radio frequency identification (RFID)”
The Centre puts these technologies in context by taking visitors through scenarios. Visitors can move unaccompanied through the demonstrations and use the equipment. There are a range of scenarios in which you can use the equipment including a hospital, airport, warehouse, retail outlet, manufacturing plant, town hall and they are planning to create a classroom of the future.
