Truth In Technologies 2006: Efficiency, Safety, And Privacy

AIDC 100 announces the 3rd Annual Truth in Technologies Forum to be held October 5, 2006 at the State University of New York - Stony Brook.

This year's Forum will focus on vertical industry applications and global supply chain Efficiency, Safety, and Privacy. Designed to provide a platform for debate and open discussions, the Forum will address the global perspectives on the issues facing the applications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), bar coding, biometrics and other automatic identification technologies. This is the only workshop that brings together thought leaders and implementers to share the "truth in technologies."

The core content of the 2006 Forum will be centered on:

  • Efficiency - how can the application of identification technologies improve productivity and visibility throughout the global supply chain? Which technologies should you select?
  • Safety - how are identification technologies being applied to enhance safety to assure consumers that the food products, pharmaceutical products and healthcare services being used are safe and secure? What is the status of these technologies and how ready are they for widespread adoption and implementation?
  • Privacy - how can identification technologies be used to properly balance security and the consumer's right to privacy? What are the roles of regulatory bodies and the public policy considerations that should be weighed and considered?

As Mark Roberti, Editor of RFID Journal stated, "The Truth in Technologies Forum is an important gathering of auto-ID experts, the people who are going to take RFID and other technologies forward into the real world. It's a great opportunity to learn the true state of adoption, the challenges and the opportunities, as well as to network with those who are making it happen."

The Forum has a tradition of presenting the real facts and engaging participants in an open dialogue in order to derive the real business value of AIDC technologies. Larry Roberts, CEO/publisher of SCAN: The DATA CAPTURE Report was certainly impressed with the Forum and said, "This event was by far the most highly interactive, open, and honest forum I've ever attended."
