The Network for Innovative Logistics, abbreviated NIL, has made it its goal to provide comprehensive IT logistics solutions and services for manufacturing, warehousing and transportation. The initiative is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. In all seven companies as well as both of Regensburg's universities pool competences from all areas of the logistics chain and together develop new solutions and innovative products.
Within the scope of the NIL project the two companies Dallmeier and initPRO work on the integration of RFID data into video images. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) makes it possible to transmit data via radio waves, contact-free and without intervisibility. At the core of this technology is the so-called RFID transponder, also known as RFID tag, which consists of a chip and a connected antenna. The antenna is capable of absorbing energy from the electromagnetic waves and thus activating the chip in order to transmit the data stored on the chip back to the reading device, namely the RFID reader.
