Bald funken die Etiketten - RFID bei der Metro-Gruppe
aus dem Bereich Hardware
Der Barcode hat ausgedient, bald funken die Etiketten das Gewicht, den Inhalt und natürlich den Preis zur Kasse - zunächst bei der Metro.
Kein Strichcode mehr
Der Strichcode, der von einem Scanner gelesen wird, hat sich zwar inzwischen durchgesetzt, doch kennt jeder die Macken des Systems - nur ein wenig Dreck oder kleine Falten, schon wird der Strichcode nicht mehr erkannt.
Bei Funketiketten, RFIDs, ist dieses Problem natürlich nicht vorhanden. Inzwischen hat man Techniken entwickelt, mit denen RFIDs auf Folien flexibel gedruckt werden können, sodass sie selbst in Extremsituation sicher ihre Daten zum Empfänger funken. Zukünftig werden die Waren somit im Wagen verbleiben können, sie funken lediglich ihre Daten an die Kasse.
Metro fängt an
Bereits vor einiger Zeit hat WalMart angekündigt, RFIDs ab 2005 einsetzen zu wollen. Zunächst soll allerdings nur das Lager mit den Funketiketten organisiert werden. Von der Metro wurde nun ein deutlich schneller Start verkündet, schon 2004 möchte die Großgruppe die Technik einführen.
Und so sollen bereits 250 Filialen der Metro-Geschäfte (MediaMarkt, Saturn, Kaufhof, Real etc.) ab November 2004 mit der Funktechnik arbeiten, bis 2007 möchte man das gesamte Filialnetz umgestellt haben. Bleibt die Frage nach dem Verbraucherschutz, denn sollten die Etiketten beispielsweise aus einem Kleidungsstück nicht lösbar sein, so könnte der Kunde unbemerkt registriert und beobachtet werden - dies gilt es zu verhindern.

Establishment of MSS SOC and Direct Selling Presence in French and Nordic Markets Highlight Recent Moves to Solidify Presence in Europe
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and GENEVA, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSN - News), the leading provider of critical infrastructure services for Internet and telecommunications networks, today announced a series of moves that strengthen the company's European footprint. These moves include the opening of a dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC) in Geneva, Switzerland to serve the company's European Managed Security Services (MSS) customers, and establishment of direct-selling presences in both the French and Nordic markets. These actions complement VeriSign's existing European operations in Switzerland, England, Germany, and Spain, and are part of a series of planned activities that will enable European businesses to take full advantage of VeriSign's services in the coming years.

The opening of a European SOC provides VeriSign's MSS customers with 24x7x365 SLA support, in the same European time zone, in English, German, French, and Spanish. VeriSign's SOC staff will monitor the operation and status of MSS customers' security devices, including vulnerability scanners, intrusion detection systems and firewalls. VeriSign correlates and analyzes this information with intelligence derived from its operation of critical infrastructure services, including two of the Internet root servers and the registry for .com and .net. This intelligence provides customers with timely information regarding security threats and other malicious activity, enabling them to take proactive action to protect mission-critical data.
VeriSign's expansion in Europe is further strengthened through the addition of SSL customers in France, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Customers in these regions can now benefit by working with the recognized leader in providing SSL certificates for securing online transactions.
"The opening of a European SOC, coupled with our new direct presence in France and several Nordic countries, illustrates how VeriSign is solidifying its position as a leading global provider of critical infrastructure services for businesses, regardless of size," said Francois Stieger, senior vice president, VeriSign EMEA. "With our SOC, VeriSign can offer European businesses the full suite of Intelligence and Control Services(SM) for Network Security, giving them insight into security trends not only within their corporate walls, but also across the Internet that VeriSign gains by having the largest breadth of service and devices under management. This, in turn, will allow them to more effectively react to the growing number of threats affecting enterprises today."
In another recent European expansion move, VeriSign acquired Jamba!, based in Berlin, Germany, to enhance its portfolio of Intelligent Communications, Content and Commerce(SM) services. Jamba! is the leading provider of digital content mediation in the European market, providing a robust platform and services for wireless subscribers. By adding Jamba!'s capabilities into its existing communication services platforms, VeriSign expects to be able to offer carriers a comprehensive wireless data utility that covers all aspects of the mobile content value chain. Jamba! has a presence in nine countries and brings new market opportunities for the full portfolio of VeriSign services.
