AIM-D Celebrates 30 Years and Sponsors WIoT tomorrow 2024

AIM-D e.V., the industry association celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, is proud to sponsor WIoT Tomorrow 2024. Founded in 1994 as the German-speaking chapter of AIM Global, AIM-D, has become a leading organization in automatic data capture, identification, and mobile data communication. With over 120 members across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, AIM-D represents a global network of experts in AutoID technologies, including RFID, barcode, NFC, and RTLS (Real-time Locating Systems).

At the core of AIM-D's work is the promotion and development of technologies that are essential for digital transformation. Technologies like RFID and NFC are critical for automating processes in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and Industry 4.0.

AIM-D supports these developments by establishing international standards that ensure interoperability and efficiency. AIM-D has also been involved in cybersecurity initiatives like the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act and promotes the integration of heterogeneous technology environments, such as combining RFID with 5G or IoT solutions.

Since its inception, AIM-D has been deeply committed to strengthening the AutoID sector through standardization and innovation. AIM-D has played a crucial role in the international standardization of technologies, including barcodes and RFID.

In the 1990s, AIM was instrumental in the standardization of 2D codes such as the Data Matrix and QR codes, which are now integral to modern business applications and supply chains. These standards enable companies to use complex data structures and improve business processes.

One of AIM’s key contributions is creating a platform where companies can share knowledge about technological developments and best practices. By focusing on future-oriented topics such as 5G, autonomous systems, robotics, AI, and energy harvesting, AIM helps its members harness the benefits of these technologies. AIM’s work enables companies to stay ahead of the curve by participating in working groups and shaping the development of international standards.

The standards and technologies developed by AIM-D are the foundation for an efficient and future-proof economy. In a world where digital processes are increasingly important, AIM-D enables companies to remain competitive through the use of AutoID technologies. From tracking goods in supply chains to identifying objects in manufacturing and monitoring real-time data with RTLS, AIM-D’s work plays a vital role in the industry’s future.

AIM-D continues to push the envelope, exploring new solutions such as integrating RFID and sensors with 5G or LoRaWAN technology, demonstrating its importance in shaping the future of industry.

As a sponsor of WIoT tomorrow 2024, AIM-D reinforces its commitment to promoting key technological developments on a global scale. Attendees can look forward to insightful presentations and discussions on the latest innovations in AutoID and digital transformation.

AIM-D provides a platform for exchanging ideas, best practices, and future visions that are essential for businesses navigating an ever-evolving technological landscape.
