Confidex participated as one of the key hardware development partners in EU funded research project called "Building Radio frequency Identification solutions for the Global Environment (BRIDGE)". The project was supported by the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP6). The project lasted three years, starting in summer 2006 and concluding in 2009.

The main project target was to research, develop and implement a set of technologies that will enable every physical product to have a duality of existence - both in the physical world and in the information space ("cyberspace") - where their existence in the information space holds all the information about their past, present and future states to allow advanced track and trace and sophisticated decision-making processes.

Confidex's role in the Research Project was to act as a task leader and main development partner for Gen2 compliant Semi-Passive Sensor Tag Platform. Confidex also participated in developing high dielectric load-, on-metal- and miniature-RFID tags. For more information, visit: www.bridge-project.eu

Confidex is participating as a RFID tag development partner in EU funded Research Project called "Intelligent distributed process utilisation and blazing environmental key (INDISPUTABLE KEY)". The project is being supported by the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP6).

The main project target is to initiate and stimulate an industrial breakthrough in traceability systems for biological raw materials, specifically wood, leading to substantial economical and environmental improvements in the wood processing chain. This will be achieved through specifying, developing, introducing, evaluating and disseminating a powerful system for improving the use of the wood raw material and production resources of the European forest industry. The result will be a notable improvement to European competitiveness and sustainability of wood products.

Confidex's role in the project is to develop and produce prototypes of specially tailored forest RFID tags. For more information, visit: www.indisputablekey.com

TRACE

TRACE (RFID and biometric for Traceability in Shop Floor) is a research project for addressing ways to add intelligence for production of parcelled goods. TRACE-project is co-operative research project with SISTEPLANT S.L., a Spanish company providing solutions for manufacturing and maintenance processes optimization. Project is partly funded by MANUNET funding program (www.manunet.net).

Confidex role in a project is to develop RFID tags for challenging environments and to lower the barriers to the implementation of RFID in manufacturing environment.
