Sustainable instrumentation of everyday commodities — Concepts and tools

Many research activities are currently exploring the use of digital object memories. But outside research activities even nowadays still most of the everyday commodities and convenience goods are even not equipped with an RFID tag due to the inefficient cost-benefit ratio. In a former paper we presented “Incycling” - a sustainable concept for equipping everyday commodities with instrumentations like memory, sensors, processor unit, and communication modules. In this paper we present current work in progress concerning the tools and components and the intended architecture of the first prototype. It will be showcased in a visionary drug interaction warning system.
