RFID Chip Maker Uses RFID to Boost Efficiency, On-Time Deliveryf

Global silicon chip manufacturer TowerJazz not only produces high-memory radio frequency identification chips used by the aerospace industry, but it is now employing Wi-Fi-based RFID technology at one of its own fabrication facilities to track work in progress. The solution, deployed at TowerJazz's fabrication plant in Newport Beach, Calif., consists of AeroScout's battery-powered Wi-Fi tags, exciters to better pinpoint a tag's location, and software to determine at which workstation or on what rack wafers are located during the manufacturing process, based on read events, and to then share that information with the company's dispatch-management system. - See more at: http://www.rfidjournal.com/articles/view?10882#sthash.L26q3bJ1.dpuf
