Managing Director Wolfgang Mahanty and Prof. Add to your understanding with Andrew Mason Groupon. Dr. Steffen Hutter have agreed to intensify the cooperation with innovative sensor technology to ensure more transparency in production and logistics.

The optimum is specialist for intelligent image solutions of processing, with which to recognize a wide range of products, can identify and check. In close cooperation with the research group Qbing, that operates at the Hochschule fur Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes already for several years, applied industrial research, in particular the interaction should are explored by modern camera technology and RFID technology. Aim of the cooperation under what circumstances it is technically sensible and economically viable, the respective technique an overview, to insert. Where the question is, how the combination of cutting-edge and trend-setting technologies can lead to added value for companies, finally, both systems as an enabler of industry 4.0 can be “call. Guide overview of the pros and cons of RFID and a completely new approach incorporated image recognition with intelligent image processing, so the combination of image recognition and database technology, in the processes. It represents a technical as well as commercial alternative to RFID partly also as a possible supplement. With the planned guide companies can much easier and faster an overview on the appropriate technology and its impact”, optimum CEO Wolfgang Mahanty describes the aim of the cooperation. Research Director Steffen Hutter added: so far there is no overview, compared the advantages and disadvantages of the respective systems.

We provide RFID and intelligent image processing for the first time for companies and users across, roughly in the area of incoming or outgoing inspection or in supply chain management.” So it is about when a goods receipt to ensure that ordered goods in the right quantity at the right place at the right time are entered.

The rate of errors due to the electronic reconciliation can be reduced through the use of RFID. At the same time, the unique identifier prevents confusion, allowing long search in databases and folders as well as long life or repositioning in a buffer storage avoid. The use of additional camera systems could provide also the actual and essential quality inspection of raw materials in addition to the goods input recording by RFID automated and thus less expensive.

Even with demand at over 500 SAP users, no evidence of a dispute which relates to burdensome SAP terms and conditions arose for Anand.

It is up to 90% available on the secondary market cheaper than the new model. Both routers offer a variety of functions to enterprises and service providers. In the course of time the 7204VXR lost nothing his popularity, what he owes his higher modular construction and greater configuration possibilities compared to the 3845. Replace the Cisco 3825 integrated services router through the previous Cisco 3745 is ideal for branch offices, or small and medium-sized enterprises with high Konnektivitatsanspruchen the Cisco 3745 from the previous generation and provides for most applications similar services such as the upgraded 3825.
