    Abstract: A system for managing an industrial workflow including a plurality of asset tags, each tag associated with a corresponding asset, and a plurality of point of interest reader nodes, each reader node including at least one BLE radio in communication with a subset of the plurality of asset tags and a communications manager in communication with at least one cloud server. The system further includes a cloud server having a location services module, a process and workflow editor configured to enable a user to access a plurality of rules in a process flow library regarding how different types of assets are expected to move through a facility, and a real-time compute engine configured to generate a sequence of events for an asset and interpret the process and workflow plan to determine whether a trigger event has occurred.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and tools for transporting and monitoring baggage by leveraging hardware and software based techniques to schedule time slots for the arrival of the baggage at pre-scheduled waypoints or final destinations. Computer systems manage route scheduling, baggage transportation, tracking and verification using a multi-tiered architecture to ensure each bag arrives at the scheduled waypoints and final destination. Baggage security includes tracking, via one or more chaperone devices and/or tagging the baggage using active or passive tagging systems. Tracking baggage allows the system to identify exceptions in the routing pattern of the baggage before the error may be realized by employees of the transportation service or the customer arriving at the final destination. Identifying exceptions to the routing pattern sooner may increase the likelihood of successfully backtracking to the last known whereabouts of the baggage and re-routing the baggage to the final destination in a timely manner.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the label production industry, more specifically to the production of labels with increased performance for improving and amplifying the function of a label. Even more specifically, the invention relates to a system that allows the handling of said label. Said smart label system is characterised in that it is formed by a smart label comprising a) a transparent or translucent film with a print on one of the faces thereof; a film of varnish on said print or on the opposite face, depending on whether the print is on the inside or on the outside, and on said varnish, there is another, different print in a special ink that becomes visible in the event of an attempt to remove the label from the item to which it is stuck, and on this print there is a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive; b) a chip with an antenna between the varnish and the adhesive; c) an electronic mobile device for communicating with the chip; and ch) an algorithm on the chip and on the electronic mobile device for unique encoded reading (padlock) encryption.

    Abstract: A vehicle detection system includes an RFID reader, a detection device, and an ECU. The RFID reader transmits a transmission signal including at least a signal that supplies power. The detection device includes a second antenna unit that mutually transmits and receives a signal to and from the RFID reader, an RFID detection circuit that is activated using the signal that supplies power included in the transmission signal received by the second antenna unit as driving power and that outputs a detection signal to the second antenna unit, and a switch circuit that switches an electrical connection portion between the second antenna unit and the RFID detection circuit to a contact state or to a non-contact state according to a state inside the vehicle. The ECU determines the state inside the vehicle on the basis of the detection signal received by the RFID reader.

    Abstract: What is disclosed is an object holder for securely retaining an object while it is being printed in a direct-to-object print system and a direct-to-object print system configured to use various embodiments of the object holder of the present invention. In one embodiment, the object holder comprises a back support configured to slideably traverse a support member positioned parallel to a plane formed by at least one printhead configured to eject marking material on to a surface of an object A top and bottom arm are attached to the back support. At least two support braces are attached to the top and bottom arms. At least one restraining bar is slideably attached to the support braces such that the bar can be raised or lowered on to the object seated between the top and bottom arms. The bar physically retains the object while the object is being printed.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and accompanying method for deriving spatial sequence of multiple objects on an interactive surface. The system includes an interactive surface and multiple physical objects. Each object is placed within a finite three-dimensional space on the interactive surface, and embedded with an RFID tag. The interactive surface further includes an RF module, an antenna, a host, an adjustable matching network, a channel switch, and an output module. The host instructs the channel switch to change the parameters of the components of the adjustable matching network to generate a series of resonance frequencies. And the host instructs the antenna to read the RFID tags at the series of resonance frequencies, with an effective reading range of the antenna changing as the resonance frequency changes. The host receives information of multiple sets of RFID tags in multiple readings, derives a spatial sequence of the objects placed on the interactive surface, and provides the output signal or action through the output module. The invention could be applied to the Tower of Hanoi game.
