BRIDGE project: final report
Bridge logoFor more than three years, a dedicated team of close to 100 researchers and business executives from 31 organisations worked together under the BRIDGE consortium funded by the European Commission.
Coordinated by Henri Barthel, GS1 Director System Integrity, Technology and Partnerships - the consortium concentrated on 15 work packages around RFID technology.
Many of the deliverables, documents, presentations, software tools, are publicly and freely available from the public web site.
During the course of the project, several patents were filed by participating organisations. A number of new hardware and software products based on innovative features developed by the research teams were
commercialised. A start-up company was launched to promote a revolutionary concept of smart shelves
embedding RFID readers and antennae.
The project issued several important contributions to standard bodies in the areas of sensors, security and Discovery services. The business work packages identified the opportunities, established the business cases and performed trials and implementations in various sectors including anti-counterfeiting, pharmaceuticals, textile, manufacturing, re-usable assets, products in service and retail non-food items. A comprehensive set of education and demonstration material was produced.
We strongly encourage anyone to make use of these valuable resources.
