Bremen Research Cluster for Dynamics in Logistics
RESEARCH
Projekt:
Vehicle Control by Mobile Transponder Detection
Subject of this R&D-project between E.H.Harms Automobile-Logistics and the Bremen Institute of Industrial Technology and Applied Work Science, BIBA, (Division IPS: Intelligent Production and Logistics Systems) is the development of a decentralised vehicle control method in logistic networks using RFID technology.
In this project, the vehicles are fitted with a passive read/write transponder. The relevant vehicle data are stored on each transponder with a mobile data entry (MDE). The RFID-tags on terminal gates and gateways of technical treatment stations are identified by built-in antenna/reader. Each handling employee is provided with a Hybrid-MDE, that combines the functions such as locating and transponder reading.
The main objective of this project is the improvement of relevant business processes, and here particularily vehicle identification, locating and control. The methods, hard- and software components developed in the context of this project will be tested at the Auto-Terminal E.H.H. AUTOTEC GmbH & Co. KG in Bremerhaven and will finally be evaluated in the form of a proof of concept.
