. Announcing the 19th Annual Automatic Identification and Data Capture Technical Institute July 24 – 29, 2005      The Center for Automatic Identification at Ohio University is proud to announce the 19th annual Automatic Identification and Data Capture Technical Institute, (AIDCTI) scheduled for Sunday, July 24 through Friday, July 29, 2005 on the Ohio University campus.  The Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and educating automatic identification and data capture to college and university faculty members as well as industry professionals.  The event is co-sponsored by Ohio University, AIM, Inc. and the Uniform Code Council, Inc.    Participants arrive in time for a reception and dinner Sunday evening.  This is an opportunity for them to meet one another and learn about the events of the coming week.  A picnic is held on Thursday evening at a local scenic park, which enables everyone to visit and interact casually.    Technical details and practical applications are included in each session throughout the week conducted by widely recognized experts.  In the past 18 years we have had educators from various countries attend our Institute. They have traveled from Peru, South Africa, the UK, Canada, Taiwan, Argentina, Egypt, Korea, Russia, Poland, etc and from all over the U.S. They represent disciplines such as Healthcare, Engineering, Sciences, Business, Apparel, Textiles, Merchandising, Industrial Studies, Manufacturing and Construction, just to mention a few. The goal of the AIDCTI is to proliferate knowledge about Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) through universities and colleges, as well as throughout the technical and business sectors.  Typical sessions include, but are not limited to: AIDC Technology and Applications Overview Bar Code Printing, Verification, and Scanning Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Global Standards & Commerce Card Technologies Biometrics Supply Chain/EDI/XML Industry-specific applications e.g. Automotive, Healthcare, U.S. Dept. of Defense Data Structures, Data Carriers, Data Communications and Data Integration Project Implementation and Systems Integration Sessions also include hands-on lab activities on all AIDC Technologies and their applications.    Business and Technical attendees usually come for one of two reasons.  Either they are new to the business and want to learn the technologies and applications or they are interested in learning the relationships of their technology to other AIDC technologies in order to better serve their clients.    Professors, on the other hand, take the knowledge back to their institutions and programs.  In turn, they incorporate AIDC into their curriculum to teach their students.  This allows the students to be ready to solve real-world business problems with these technologies when they graduate.     For further information, applications and continued updates, tune into http://www.ohio.edu/aidc/, or contact Steve Hilliard at the Center for Automatic Identification, 740-593-1452, or hilliars@ohio.edu  Center for Automatic IdentificationnOhio Universityn128 Stocker CenternAthens, Ohio  45701-2979Phone: 740-593-1452nFax: 740-593-9382nwww.ohio.edu/aidc     Contact information: Center for Automatic Identification 128 Stocker Center ...
