Building Radio Frequency Identification solutions for the Global Environment

Project description


ICT for Networked Businesses

A Consortium of 31 global organisations supported by the European Commission launches a three year project in RFID application research and development


The implementation of RFID and EPCglobal standard solutions is hindered by a number of technical, social and educational constraints. The objective of the BRIDGE project is to research, develop and implement tools to enable the deployment of EPCglobal applications in Europe.The BRIDGE project consists of a series of business oriented clusters, technical development clusters and horizontal activities. The Business clusters will identify the business opportunities, analyse the requirements, establish the business case, map the requirements with the available technologies and standards, identify problem areas that should be researched. They will perform pilots and implementation, evaluate the results and issue application guidelines for using the technology in their particular business context.The technical development clusters will perform the research based on the needs expressed by the business clusters. They will address technical issues as well as organisational and policy issues. The result of their work will be provided to the business groups to enable pilots and implementations.A series of horizontal activities will provide training, dissemination and exploitation services, enabling the adoption of the technology on a large scale in Europe for the sectors addressed by BRIDGE and beyond.This project will deliver outstanding hardware and software components that will meet the requirements of Users. Concrete experiments will be carried out to validate the technology, to study the impact in real-life situations and to re-engineer business processes in a most efficient way. The deliverable will be widely disseminated throughout Europe by the GS1 organisations whose membership are primarily composed of SMEs and will have significantly improved supply-chain processes and hence European competitiveness.
