BMW Rolls Out RFID Worldwide

"Automobile manufacturer BMW is extending deployment of an RFID-based real-time location system (RTLS) used to manage finished vehicles in Germany to two of its international production plants. The system has been designed and installed by Siemens using technology from U.S. RFID RTLS specialist WhereNet. The system places active RFID tags on finished vehicles as they leave the production line to help BMW workers instantly locate cars before they are shipped to dealers. Siemens' Automation and Drives Group resells the WhereNet system under its own MOBY-R brand." Source: rfidjournal.com
