  • Abstract
    We describe the design and implementation of a real-time localization solution that Infineon Technologies uses in its wafer fabrication facility in Villach, Austria. The system combines active RFID, passive RFID, and ultrasound sensors to track plastic wafer boxes and wafer cassettes in the company´s chip-manufacturing process.
