UID Journal presents AIDC Comprehensive 'Hands-On'Training Seminar to be held at National University, San Diego May 11th-14th, 2010.

The course covers all of the aspects of Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technologies. Course presentations include lectures, hands-on equipment labs with software training, system design workshops and self focused exercises.

This course is unique because students not only learn the technology and applications from the lectures, but the concepts are reinforced through the self-paced exercises, system-design workshops and labs. The on-line class provides equipment labs through videos. The onsite class provides the actual AIDC equipment for the student to use.

Linear bar code, two-dimensional (2D) symbol technologies and RFID are introduced and explained so the student has an in-depth understanding of how they work. This will help the student apply the appropriate technology for a particular application or environment. Standards and application guidelines for the technologies are explained so the student can ensure that the implementation are compliant. The student will learn about the range of printing and scanning equipment and the key techniques for their implementation, including verification techniques.

UID, IUID and UII are explained in detail, including who needs to provide this identification, how it is structured and its proper implementation. All the concepts and techniques associated with the UID are explained, covering the usage of Data Identifiers, Application Identifiers and Text Element Identifiers, as well as metadata requirements. The UID Registry is also explained.

January 19, 2010 – MAINtag SAS, the market
leader in RFID system solutions and Tego, Inc., the leading provider of high-memory RFID tagging solutions, today announced that the companies’ jointly-developed FLYtag™ products will be used in a pioneering effort to tag thousands of aircraft parts
across the Airbus (Paris Stock Exchange: EAD) A350 XWB fleet.

MAINtag will be the prime contractor for the jointly secured multi-year Airbus contract to supply next-generation RFID high-memory tags that can hold the complete birth record and maintenance history of aircraft parts, enabling new cutting-edge
Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) applications. The combination of MAINtag’s expertise in tag manufacturing and Tego’s high-memory chip, provides the first standards-compliant, high memory and fully-passive RFID tags that help achieve Airbus’ goal of value chain visibility.

The A350 XWB will begin using MAINtag’s FLYtag solution, which incorporates Tego’s high-memory RFID chip (the TegoChip™), to tag over 1,500 pressurized and non-pressurized parts and components on each aircraft.
