Approximately 390,000 trash cans and 9,000 containers in the Rems-Murr district will be assigned a digital identity via LF-RFID. Starting in 2027, the 134.2-kHz transponder will replace the current fee sticker. The fee model will remain in place; only the container identification will be digitized. 399,000 Waste Containers Receive a Digital Identity The Rems-Murr district in Baden-Württemberg is switching to RFID for the identification of its waste bins.
Permanent RFID Tags Could Replace Seasonal Labels on Fruit Crates
Netherlands-based Munckhof Fruit Tech Innovators, Agromanager, which operates in Belgium and the Netherlands, and five fruit growers in the Netherlands are testing permanent RFID labels on picking crates. The goal is to replace seasonal paper labels with reusable digital identities linked to harvest and traceability data. One Digital Identity for the Crate Fruit crates require unique identification during harvest for food safety, certification and traceability.
New Algorithms Optimize BLE Beacon Planning in Buildings
Researchers at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) have developed new methods for the automatic planning of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon networks. The algorithms take building structure and radio signal attenuation into account and are designed to enable reliable indoor localization using fewer beacons. Where Should BLE Beacons Be Installed? BLE beacons can serve as fixed reference points for indoor localization within buildings.
Walmart Opens US Checkouts to NFC After a Decade of Resistance
Walmart, the largest US retailer, is enabling NFC-based tap-to-pay across its US stores for the first time. Contactless cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and compatible smartwatches will now work at checkout, ending a decade in which Walmart favored its own QR-based payment ecosystem. NFC Comes to Walmart and Sam’s Club Walmart announced on August 21, 2026, that tap-to-pay would begin at selected Walmart stores and Sam’s Club locations from August 24.

Tesla Industrializes Humanoid Robots for the AI-Driven Factory
Tesla is moving Optimus, its general-purpose humanoid robot, from development toward industrial production. At the same time, the company is combining robotics, factory automation, real-world training data, wireless connectivity and AI across manufacturing operations in the US and Europe. From Car Production to Robot Production Optimus is Tesla’s bipedal humanoid robot, designed to perform physical tasks using cameras, sensors, onboard computing, AI-based perception and electric actuators.
When AI Models Get Too Big: Why Mixture-of-Experts Efficiency Matters for IoT
As AI models grow, the challenge is no longer only how capable they are, but how much hardware is needed to run them. Nota AI is researching ways to reduce the memory and GPU requirements of Mixture-of-Experts models, an approach that could also matter as more AI processing moves closer to connected devices. A Short Excursion Into Mixture-of-Experts Large language models normally contain billions of parameters that have to be stored and processed.
RFID Tags for Medical Devices: A Barcode Alternative for Reliability and Traceability
For decades, barcodes have been the default method of labeling and tracking components, tools, and medical devices. They're simple and inexpensive to implement, and can be read by any optical scanner. But they're no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of modern connected systems or regulated healthcare workflows. Today's medical devices exchange data continuously and often operate in sealed or sterile environments where visual scanning is impractical or impossible.
