The purpose of this paper is to present a new way for identification of products/parts and their tracking during the whole life cycle, from the manufacture and assembly phase to the disassembly phase.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is applied on a chosen product, an in‐mould labelling (IML) robot.

This paper discusses a case study that highlights the use of RFID as automatic identification technology, especially in the processes of assembly/disassembly of the IML robot. The application can be expanded onto any kind of product, with the exception of some life cycle phases that are specific for a particular product.

The paper gives an example of how RFID technology can actually be realized in the case of the IML robot to improve the quality of tracking its main components.

The users have the possibilities to access and analyze information about the products/parts during their cycle.

The purpose of this paper is to describe an approach of using mobile phones with Bluetooth technology to enter/exit restricted area.

Applied Bluetooth technology implemented in mobile phones enables the user to perform the identification and the state of presence while entering/exiting the parking space without stopping the vehicle. For the successful implementation of this method for presence detection and proper identification, it is necessary to determine the values of the Bluetooth signal.

This paper discuses a case study that has been done at entry/exit of parking lots. The obtained experimental results show that mobile phones with the Bluetooth technology can be successfully applied as presence detection sensors, as well as in processes for the identification of the user/object in the move.

The paper gives a primer how mobile phones with Bluetooth technology, in addition to their basic purpose, can be used as identification devices to enter/exit restricted area.

The users have possibilities to access restricted area using a common device – a mobile phone with Bluetooth technology. Successful implementation of developed access control system is based on determining the proper value of the Bluetooth signal strength field that extends around the control cabinet in which the Bluetooth devices are situated.

The purpose of this paper is to present a novel approach for identification of machining fixtures, and their elements in an assembly/disassembly process.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is applied to identification of physical machining fixtures and their basic elements.

Based on comprehensive testing in industrial conditions it was established by this research that the use of RFID technology contributes to significant reduction of assembly/disassembly time of machining fixtures.

Practical applicability of RFID technology is emphasized and demonstrated in the paper. The suggested system is proven superior in comparison with conventional methods for identification of fixtures/fixture elements which qualifies it for real industrial application.

To the best of authors' knowledge there are no previous reports of successful application of RFID technology on identification of fixtures/fixture elements.
