MATICS2004

MATICS2004 is a group of 38 companies/organizations in Japan, which recently developed a system for managing industrial wastes using RFID tags. The system's objective is to strictly monitor wastes produced at hospitals and factries -- and find what can be reused. The group is testing the system at the Ibaragi factory of Asahi Beer company to commercialize it in the summer.
