RFID System for Automobile Manufacturing -- IDENTEC SOLUTIONS Wins Major Contract from Audi
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS Germany expands its leadership position as Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) provider for the automobile industry.
Audi AG recently awarded IDENTEC SOLUTIONS a contract to provide its
OIS-P RFID system for the production of the Audi TT.
"This contract emphasizes IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' leadership position
as a provider of complete RFID solutions in the Automobile Industry",
states Gerhard Schedler, CEO & President of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS. "With
our proven product portfolio especially designed for production
environments, as well as our applications know-how, IDENTEC SOLUTIONS
stands at the forefront of the international automobile manufacturing
sector as an RFID provider." In fact, IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' products have
been implemented in the automotive industry for such applications as
tracking and tracing of vehicles or engines and in optimizing the
management of transport containers and delivery trucks. "The potential
for growth is enormous, as is the savings potential for our
customers", adds Mr. Schedler.
OIS-P for the Audi TT
There are currently 350 Audi TT chassis carriers circulating
through production and conveyor stations in Audi's new auto body
factory in Ingolstadt, Germany. Based on information stored on the
OIS-P tags, robots at about 80 stations throughout the production
process are programmed to process the various options. Then data
relating to product quality is documented, and the flow of the chassis
carriers throughout the conveyor system can be controlled.
Baumer Ident becomes IDENTEC SOLUTIONS Germany
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS AG (http://www.identecsolutions.com) acquired
Baumer Ident GmbH on July 1, 2006 and renamed it IDENTEC SOLUTIONS

for IDENTEC SOLUTIONS in expanding its global market leadership in the
field of industrial RFID solutions.
"The merging of the companies brings with it advantages on all
levels" explains Mr. Schedler. "Customers and Partners will benefit
from a more comprehensive offering. By combining the RFID expertise of
employees from both companies, we have created a first-class team that
is both unique in and at the forefront of the industrial RFID sector.
Furthermore our additional location ensures the best support and will
