RFID technology as an enabler for future living

Over 25 years ago contactless technology started to conquer the world. Did you know that 3 out of 4 people use contactless RFID technology from Styria every single day?

For example, have you ever wondered how shop owners create more streamlined inventory processes, knowing immediately if they have your t-shirt size in stock? Or how contactless payments are providing customers with an improved in-store experience? How the RFID-enabled gate in your skiing area allows you to board the cable car?

Join us for this session to discover how RFID surrounds us in our everyday lives, powered by local companies. Get a glimpse into the future and experience how contactless will continue to improve our lives by offering more convenience, efficiency and safety.
