Forscher entwickeln RFID `intelligente Umbauten' für Arbeitsplatz

Forscher an der Lancaster Universität entwickeln ein neues Erzeugung `der intelligenten Umbauten' „zu helfen, Arbeiter sicher zu halten auf Baustellen.“
NEMO Technologie in der Entwicklung
Das Forschung Projekt stellt kleine Umbauten der Hochfrequenz Identifikation (RFID), mit Sensoren und Gedächtnis her, die in den täglichen Gegenständen eingebettet werden - wie Werkzeugen - und über ein Netz mit drahtloser Technologie in Verbindung stehen können.
Diese können zum Beispiel verwendet werden, um Monitor zu helfen mit schwerer Maschinerie Völker - sicherstellend sie arbeiten sicher innerhalb der empfohlenen Richtlinien.

Smart tags could transform Health and Safety in the modern workplace. For example, the information can be used by employers and workers to monitor their exposure to vibrations from power tools such as drills which can lead to a painful condition called ‘vibration white finger’.
In an interview with the BBC online, Dr Gerd Kortuem of Lancaster University’s Computing Department, said RFID tags were getting smarter and more communicative as bigger memory, basic processing power and wireless technologies are added to them.

“We are trying to embed a little more intelligence beyond location by adding sensors and by networking these objects together,” he said.
The project – known as NEMO (or Networked Embedded Models and Memories of Physical Work Activity) is an EPSRC-Funded Collaborative Research Project.
The project runs for four years, and involves close collaboration with world-leading companies including Agilent, BP, Carillion and In Touch.
It involves Dr Gerd Kortuem, Professor Nigel Davies, Professor Hans Gellersen, Professor David Hutchison and Dr Joe Finney, all of the Computing Department, Dr Jerry Busby, Management School and Dr Linden Ball, Psychology.

So they’re making technology that people will have to work around and make things done later resulting in more costs overall?
Nice.
