| TYRE INDUSTRY GOING IOT Juho Partenan, Director of Business Development and Co-founder of Voyantic Ltd. talks about how leading tyre manufacturers are co-operating to create a global ISO standard covering tagging methods, coding utilized and even the necessary test methods. This effort is based on a Chinese national standard that is been modified to match the requirements of Western and Japanese industries.While that standardization work continues, numerous tyre manufacturers are in the process of utilizing RFID to track and manage their products through their supply chain. Considering the nature of such cross-border supply chains, the technical implementation needs to satisfy the local regulations both in the east and west. |

| MICRO ANTENNAS FOR IOT DEVICES, DESIGN AND CHALLENGES TERRY YE, CEO Laxcen Technology Ltd. will talk about how the Internet-of-Things (IOT) is regarded as the next paradigm shift in technology after the Internet. Many IOT devices, such as RFID and wearable electronics, had already prevailed in our daily life. Future IOT devices are promised to be built into everyday’s object, where “things” are connected in a ubiquitous network wirelessly. Different from traditional wireless transceiver devices, IOT devices pose many new technical challenges in its RF, antenna, IC and package designs. In this presentation, we will use RFID systems as examples to analyze the unique challenges in IOT antenna designs. First, IOT antennas have to be attached, or embedded inside the host objects where the properties of the host materials detune the RF performance significantly. Second, coupling and shielding between hundreds of closely packed antennas will certainly degrade RFID tags’ readability and special antenna enhancements have to be implemented. Third, IOT antennas, as becoming part of the hosting objects, may exploit a large variety of different form-factors. Designers need to explore and have a comprehensive consideration of different factors, including packaging, chip bonding, materials and cost overhead, etc. |
