This new technology makes tracking supplies faster. RFID is very useful in Inventory Management. I heard this is also used in tracking soldiers who are sent to war.

The two groups have developed what they call “cyber-concrete,” which is basically a lumpy soup of regular cement and RFID tags with durable coatings. The tags hold basic information about when, where, and how each part of the concrete was manufactured, allowing safety inspection teams and concerned residents alike to check how stable their building is. To aid this process, the researchers have developed a special reader that can convert this information into speech when placed on a correctly tagged wall — so much for “the walls have ears,” now they eat pollution, display images, and speak. Sumitomo is to start testing the RFID concrete soup this month, and is aiming to make it available to large construction companies in the spring of 2007. What with a recent scandal rocking the Japanese construction scene, it sounds as if this clever concrete can’t come soon enough. Just as long as it’s not too clever — lets just say that we know we’re bad at darts, and that we don’t need no screaming walls to tell us.

La empresa Japonesa Sumitomo Osaka Cement en conjunto con YRP Ubiquitous Networking Laboratory han desarrollado un CyberConcreto. Este concreto esta básado en tecnología de identificación por ondas de radio (RFID). El concreto trae consigo etiquetas RFID, las que al ser leídas por un lector diseñado específicamente para la tarea, traduce la información contenida en ellas en forma de voz. Que fin tiene todo esto? la idea central es proporcionar datos para la seguridad estructural, de esta forma por ejemplo los equipos de inspección pueden “preguntar” al concreto cuando fue hecho, su capacidad de resistencia, y su calidad.
