From the Editor's Desk

Steve HallidayWelcome to the latest issue of the High Tech AIDCourier.

As I mentioned last month, April 9, 2014 is global IoT day. If you are interested then there will be plenty of opportunities to participate in events all over the world. This year IoT day coincides with RFID Journal Live in Orlando, Florida.  So to keep the celebrations going, I have organized an event at the show on April 9th.  There you can join us for the post conference session on Thursday on the IoT.  If you are interested in attending the celebration (for some drinks, food and presentations) or even helping to sponsor it, send me an email at steve@hightechaid.com.

If you or your company needs consulting help in the world of AIDC, then drop me a note and let's chat. High Tech Aid provides consulting on a variety of areas associated with AIDC.

 Follow my Twitter feed (@RFIDMan) for more current RFID, IOT and AIDC news and information.

Are you interested in sponsoring the newsletter?  We are looking for a new sponsor. Drop me a note to editor@hightechaid.com and let me know. E-mail me at editor@hightechaid.com and tell us what you think. Don’t forget to send this issue to your friends so that they can sign up for their own issue of the free newsletter at www.hightechaid.com.  If you have news to share or info you need, let me know at editor@hightechaid.com.

RFID Standards

In the IoT world, I am looking for standards bodies to help us identify standards that might have relevance to IoT.  We have contacted all of the JTC1 subcommittees and are working on the ISO committees. If you are a part of a standards group that has standards for the IoT, then drop me a note to steve@hightechaid.com and I will send you the template we are using for data collection.

If you want more information on ISO standardization or on any issue of RFID standardization, then email steve@hightechaid.com. For a look at RFID standards work, you can visit http://www.UnderstandRFIDstandards.com.
