This talk will focus on the problems of bringing real time visibility to physical objects by using active and passive RFID. The use of RFID technology to track products through the supply chain was promoted by MITΓÇÖs Auto-ID Center and the concept of the 5 cent tag encouraged companies such as Wall*Mart and Gillette to spearhead RFID adoption. However, to be useful in a supply chain we need to be able to answer the questions of What (Identity), When (timestamp), Where (location) and Why (business context). Indeed, the problem extracting higher level (business) events from the voluminous data is a key issue, since even today 70//auitoid.mit.edu , epcis.mit.edu and epcis.mit.edu/GeoEPCVE . For fun and inspired by the Robotics Studio team and Brian CrossΓÇÖs WiMo, we are also building robots to help shoppers and to track products in warehouses. A number of MS technologies are being used, such as LINQ, XNA, RS( CCR, DSS). WiMo, Virtual Earth, SharePoint and Info-Card.
