研究员在兰卡斯特大学开发`聪明的标记的新一代’ “帮助保持工作者安全在建造场所”。
NEMO技术在开发中
研究计划创造微小的射频ID (RFID)标记，以传感器和记忆，在每天对象可以被埋置-例如工具-和通过网络沟通使用无线技术。
这些可以例如用于帮助使用大量手段的显示器人-保证他们在被推荐的指南之内安全地工作。

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.
