Towards an Approach to ‘Intellectual Property

‘Intellectual Property’ is a complex subject. In working to define a global open system for the automatic identification of physical objects by computers, the Auto-ID Center is creating common platform technology in some areas, such as software, and specifying common interfaces in others, for ...

Towards RFID Peformance Benchmark Tests

Benchmark performance tests for radio frequency identification tags and readers as applied to supply
chain management applications are needed to provide a uniform means for End Users to assess and
compare performances of different product offerings. Conversely, these tests also ...

UHF Identity Tag Action Group: Scope and Deliverables

This paper presents the scope of work and the defined deliverables for the Auto-ID Center UHF Identity Tag Action Group. The Auto-ID Center UHF Identity Tag Action Group is charged with developing a reader-tag communication protocol operating in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) frequency range. The ...

Use of the Shrinking Generator in Lightweight Cryptography for RFID

RFID tags have severe constraints in computing power and hence offer particular challenges in the provision of e-Security. Whatever is chosen to provide security in an RFID tag should have low computational overhead. New approaches, differing from the traditional cryptosystems based on RSA, ...

The Need for a Universal Smart Sensor Network

The benefits that tagging technologies can bring to enterprises by bridging the gap between the real world and its representation in information systems has clearly been demonstrated by the work of the Auto-ID Centre and in many case studies performed by different companies.

While ...

The Promise of Auto-ID in the Automotive Industry

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the next evolutionary step in automatic identification
(Auto-ID) technology. It makes it possible to synchronize the physical flow of goods and the related
information flow without the need for human intervention. Managing physical resources ...

The University of Cambridge Auto-ID Centre from 2001–2003

In order for the Auto-ID Centre to be successful it is essential that the system it develops is adopted
globally. As a first step to achieving this the centre has expanded to Europe, opening an office at the
Institute for Manufacturing at Cambridge University in the UK.

The Role of Product Identity in End-of-Life Decision Making

The core output of the Auto-ID Center’s developments is the availability of networked product identity.
This white paper argues that product identity data is a key requirement in the development of efficient
management of the product life cycle – with a specific focus on the so called ...

The Auto-ID Transformation: Succeeding in a large-scale change effort

Auto-ID has the power to revolutionize how companies make, buy, and sell their products. In order to reap the full benefits of the new system, it will require commitment throughout the organization, the supply chain, and followed by the rest of the industry. To succeed, such an adoption will ...

The Auto-ID Automation Laboratory: Building Tomorrow’s Systems Today

There is no better way to show the benefits of the deployment of Auto-ID systems than through a physical, industrial strength demonstration. This paper overviews the facilities that have been assembled in the Auto-ID Automation Laboratory in Cambridge, UK over the past two years as a means of ...
