Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the technology applied for unambiguous and contactless identification of all types of objects. Varying magnetic fields or radio waves enable contactless data transfer as well as fast, automatic data collection. In addition, the importance of optical codes gains further importance due to their specific advantages. RFID and Auto ID systems are used in a wide range of sectors - from the consumer goods industry and trade via the automobile and aerospace industries to the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries, as well as logistics and transport facilities. New potentials to secure competitive advantages can be utilized with early planning of the application of RFID and Auto ID in procurement, manufacturing and logistics. In addition to RFID and Auto ID technology, this book presents applications from different areas of application which have already been tried and tested. They demonstrate the approach, the process and the selection of RFID and Auto ID systems for various problems. A perspective on trends and innovative security solutions shows possible future application options for this technology.
Totally Integrated Automation is the concept by means of which SIMATIC controls machines, manufacturing systems and technical processes. Taking the example of the SIMATIC S7 programmable controller, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the architecture and operation of a state-of-the-art automation system. It also gives an insight into configuration and parameter setting for the controller and the distributed I/O. Communication via network connections is explained, along with a description of the available scope for operator control and monitoring of a plant. The new engineering framework TIA Portal combines all the automation software tools in a single development environment....
This book provides an overview of the state of the art in research and development of systems for document image analysis. Topics covered include a variety of systems and architectures for processing document images as well as methods for converting those images into formats that can be manipulated by a computer. The chapters are written by recognized experts in the field and describe Systems and Architectures, Recognition Techniques, Graphics Analysis, Document Image Retrieval, and World Wide Web Applications.
The 1st International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems (DAS94,) is a full workshop on research and development of systems for the analysis of document images.This volume will be of use to academic and industrial researchers, end-users, students and principal investigators.

Handwriting Recognition has become a very important research area which is attracting more and more scientists. In fact, the extraordinary advances in the field of data acquisition technology and the promising results of the research, nowadays make possible the development of commercial systems for processing and recognition of handwritten documents.This book contains the results of the activity of the most important academic and industrial research groups working in this area. The new issues arising in the field are focused and involve both theoretical and practical aspects related to handwriting recognition and document processing systems. The contributions of eminent experts point out the more interesting challenges for the scientific community ranging from acquisition and preprocessing of handwritten documents, to recognition of handwritten digits and words, to the design of multi-expert systems and the exploitation of the contextual knowledge to improve system performance.
This open access book explores the concept of Industry 4.0, which presents a considerable challenge for the production and service sectors. While digitization initiatives are usually integrated into the central corporate strategy of larger companies, smaller firms often have problems putting Industry 4.0 paradigms into practice. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possess neither the human nor financial resources to systematically investigate the potential and risks of introducing Industry 4.0. Addressing this obstacle, the international team of authors focuses on the development of smart manufacturing concepts, logistics solutions and managerial models specifically for SMEs. Aiming to provide methodological frameworks and pilot solutions for SMEs during their digital transformation, this innovative and timely book will be of great use to scholars researching technology management, digitization and small business, as well as practitioners within manufacturing companies.

Die in den letzten Jahren in ganz außergewöhnlichem Maße gesteigerte Leistungsfähigkeit der Rechner und die ebenso rasch vorangeschrittene Entwicklung der Kommunikationstechnik bringen im Bereich der Büroarbeit eine Vielzahl erheblicher Umwälzungen. Die Jahrestagung 87 der GI, deren Tagungsband hier vorliegt, greift wichtige Fragen hierzu auf und setzt sich mit einer Fülle von Einzelthemen auseinander. Bekannte Referenten berichten in vier Hauptvorträgen zu aktuellen Fragen der Büroautomatisierung aus erster Hand. Ferner werden in zehn Fachgesprächen referierte Beiträge und eingeladene Vorträge anerkannter Fachleute zu folgenden Themen angeboten: - Theoretische Aspekte der Kommunikation und Organisation bei verteilten Rechensystemen - Datenhaltung in Büroinformationssystemen - Desktop-Publishing - Software-Ergonomie und Software Engineering - Rechensysteme für Büro-Arbeitsplätze - Graphik und Bildverarbeitung auf dem Weg zueinander - Entscheidungsunterstützungs-Systeme in der Büro- kommunikation - Computerarbeitsplätze für Juristen - Verwaltungspolitische Dimension der lokalen Automation - Macht und Ohnmacht in vernetzten Bürosystemen.
