RFID and ANFAC in SIL 2007 Conference

21/02/2007

Logistics as a factor of competitiveness in the sector of the car, the other great novelty of the show.

The SIL 2007 consolidates its leadership among the sectoral seminars with a new forum dedicated to the revolutionary technology of identification by radio frequency.

The supply of knowledge, interaction and debate of the international exhibition logistics and maintenance, SIL, will be the most complete of all editions until now held. The traditional International Symposium (10th Edition) and Forum Mediterranean logistics and transport (5th Edition), the lounge adds this year two topical developments that make come up to 10 the number of technical seminars in which will have the opportunity to increase their training professionals in the logistics community.

The first of these developments comes from the hand of the latest revolution in the logistic field: RFID (radio frequency identification) technology. During the past months, many industrial sectors have begun to implement systems of traceability and control of their products using this new technology, which is basically to add an electronic tag (tag) to the product, and have permanent and instant information on it.

Day RFID, called Seminars RFID-MED, will take place on Wednesday, June 6 and will seek to deepen the utilities that the new technology brings in supply chain management. In the programme which is being drafted, include as speakers, managers of companies who have already experimented with RFID in its manufacturing and distribution processes. In this way, congressmen attending the day may know first hand cases and real results of the use of RFID, and compare the return that can be obtained in investment for their implementation. To provide a practical perspective to this new seminar, SIL 2007 will organize a specific area of stands. In this area they will be companies offering RFID-related products and services.

On the other hand, the 1st day ANFAC is structured around the heading logistics as a factor of competitiveness in the automotive sector. Co-organized with the National Association of manufacturers of cars and trucks, the seminar will be held on June 5, and intends to seek best practices in the management of goods in a sector so intensive in material flow as it is that of the automotive industry.

The provisional agenda of the ANFAC day includes Conference on "the point of view of the company, what is the EU doing to improve the logistics in the transport of goods?" and a panel discussion on major infrastructure.
