Business landscape to be shaken by ‘e-Quake’
07 Aug 2007
Businesses across the UK are facing the biggest supply shake-up since barcodes were introduced 30 years ago.
Microchips, smart cards and other identification technologies are changing the way we buy goods and services. Now these technologies are set to revolutionise the supply chains across a whole range of industrial sectors.
“The Power of ID” conference at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, on October 29, 2007, will showcase the technologies and applications as varied as automotive, logistics, manufacturing, security, retail, healthcare, food safety, leisure and travel and financial services.
Sponsored by the Welsh Assembly Government, the event will ensure that UK organisations don’t miss out on the increased efficiency, productivity and profitability offered by these simple yet highly effective technologies.
AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) technologies allow the user to: Stock-take an entire store or warehouse quickly in one simple procedure; Identify the content of boxes without unpacking them; Benefit from accurate ‘real time’ reordering of goods; Easily trace foodstuffs, tools and medical supplies, and; Better satisfy customers through stock availability
The conference is backed by the Government’s new Business Enterprise department, AIM UK the industry association and the Halifax-based AIDC European Centre of Excellence.
