RFID, the technology for contactless data transmission, simplifies many processes in the economy. With the „Internet of Things,“ the innovation field of „Wireless Technologies“ becomes a part of everyone’s daily life.

The term „wireless technologies“ refers to application areas such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), the growing field of „wireless Internet of Things“ (wireless IoT), „NFC,“ and „Ultra-Wideband.“

 

In the „Area of Excellence RFID and wireless IoT,“ the focus is primarily on new use cases and the question of how these technologies can optimize business processes for building innovations of tomorrow. Whether in logistics, retail, or production, but also in the event and art sectors, tailor-made solutions are typically required based on experience.

 

The goal of the „Area of Excellence RFID & wireless IoT“ of the SILICON ALPS Cluster is to bring together „Wireless Experts“ from industry and research with users of wireless technologies. This collaboration results in co-creative and cooperative concepts and projects. A core group is intended to advise, support, and cooperate in the development and implementation of these projects. Through the work of partners in the Area of Excellence, the potentials of „Wireless Technologies“ and the region’s contribution to their developments become more visible – both locally and globally.

Our partners from the RFID & wireless IoT area

World-renowned brands like Mifare, Hitag, and Legic were born in southern Austria, where over 90% of the cluster partners‘ products are exported. As the „Internet of Things“ expands, the region is leveraging additional wireless technologies like NFC and Ultra-Wideband. The „Area of Excellence RFID and wireless IoT“ focuses on new use cases and optimizing various business processes, aiming to unite providers, researchers, and users for collaborative development and innovation.

DI (FH) Gernot Eder

Site Manager Graz & Business Development

After my studies as a Health Care Engineer – focusing on medical technologies and health informatics – at the University of Applied Sciences Graz, I made my first professional experiences at GS1 in Vienna. In the field of logistics, I have been involved in numerous projects with hospitals, medical technology and pharma companies. After my return to Graz, I was able to shape the field of medical technologies at the Human.technology Cluster as a business developer, pushing important topics such as sensor technologies, microelectronics or production technologies in the life science context on the national and international levels. With the foundation of nubid, I have been able to support numerous companies and start-ups in the field of medical technologies and digitization in expanding their business.

As Business Development and Innovation Manager I can perfectly use my experience and network from science and business to generate added value for our partners at the SILICON ALPS Cluster. Especially in the context of sensor technologies and microelectronics, I will push the topics of start-up ecosystem and project development as well as internationalization.
