Auto-ID labs Auto-ID Labs ( www.autoidlabs.org), a group of research institute, is established in Oct. of 1999, and the former name is Auto-ID Center. The labs Focus in research work related in automatic identification and EPC system; Cooperate with industry and perform R&D on system and tools for RFID; Promote the RFID application in the world. There are 7 members in the organization now: MIT of USA, Cambridge of UK, Adelaide of Australia, St.Gallen of Switzerland, Keio of Japan, ICU of Korea, and Fudan of China. The Auto-ID Labs is designing, building, testing and deploying a global infrastructure - a layer on top of the Internet - that will make it possible for computers to identify any object anywhere in the world instantly. This network will not just provide the means to feed reliable, accurate, real-time information into existing business applications; it will usher in a whole new era of innovation and opportunity.
