De onderzoekers bij de Universiteit van Lancaster ontwikkelen een nieuwe generatie van slimme markeringen `' „helpen arbeidersbrandkast op bouwwerven houden.“
Technologie NEMO in ontwikkeling
Het onderzoekproject leidt tot de uiterst kleine markeringen van de Radiofrequentie van identiteitskaart (RFID), met sensoren en geheugen, die in dagelijkse voorwerpen kunnen worden ingebed - zoals hulpmiddelen - en via een netwerk communiceren gebruikend draadloze technologie.
Deze kunnen worden gebruikt bijvoorbeeld helpen mensen controleren gebruikend zware machines - verzekerend zij werken veilig binnen de geadviseerde richtlijnen.

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.
