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
    Germany. The purchase of Baumer Ident--a global leader in industrial
    Auto-ID systems for the automobile industry -- was an important step
    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
    provide for better service in this growing market."

    Baumer Ident's existing products have been integrated into IDENTEC
    SOLUTIONS' product portfolio and will continue to be marketed.
