Auto-ID for automotive industry

Abstract

Automatic identification technology is beginning to be applied more and more in various sectors and branches of industry; it is clearly illustrated e.g. in [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [25]. The identification of products, goods, pallets, transported material forms an inherent foundation for technological process automation. The automatic identification tools not only allow for unique identification, but also localization, easy deducibility and traceability of an identified item, as well as validation of technological procedures and compliance of standards and quality [33] in various productions. The article deals with research and testing of an appropriate RFID tag (Radio Frequency Identification) designated for automotive components and design of using the RFID based automatic item identification in the logistics and production process. Based on completed testing, an appropriate RFID tag will be selected to meet the specific determined requirements for the needs of automatically identifying special automotive components.
