RFID In China
China's RFID market reached nearly 800M (about US$100M) Renminbi in Q3 2006 and increase of 30% over Q3 2005.
Managing Patient Records
Advanced Pain Management (APM), a clinic in Wisconsin state, is using RFID tech from Alien Technology and Symbol Technologies
(Motorola) to manage the records of 50,000 patients. The legacy system
involved medical assistants driving records back and forth between a
central location and 28 other satellite offices on a daily basis. The
middleware, SmartInstrument, is from Reltronics. The entire solution, hardware, software and integration, is US$5,000, and was integrated into APM's ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system.
Gutter Think: RFID In The Sewers
Warendorf,
a German city, is using RFID technology to maintain its 127 miles of
seweres. Their system, which is tied in the city's GIS (Geographic
Information System), tracks maintenance checks and allows workers to
not have to use pen and paper. The result is more accurately recorded
maintenance data. [via RFID Journal]
