Future Tire: Heat put on tire industry to deliver RFID

摘要

A discussion panel at this year's Future Tire Conference sparked heated debate about the adoption of RFID technology in the tire industry. The gauntlet was laid down by Armin Kraus, director, 4JET Technologies GmbH - a supplier of alternative QR coding technology. Describing the tire industry as "a living fossil" within the automotive sector, Kraus said: "We have tires that are not really identified uniquely today. We have a barcode that goes under the wheel very early in the life of a tire, so nobody knows what tire is what."
