Dr. McFarlane joined the Institute for Manufacturing
at the University of Cambridge in October 1995 where his work is focused on
appropriate automation and control solutions for manufacturing. He is group
leader of the Manufacturing Automation and Control Systems Group and is a
lecturer in Manufacturing Automation and Information Systems within the Manufacturing
Engineering Tripos and Manufacturing Leaders Programme. He is a committee
member of the IEE Next Generation Manufacturing Enterprise Profession Group,
a member of the IFAC Working Group on Mining, Minerals and Metallurgy, and
an editor on Springer Verlag's Industrial Control Series. "The ePC Alliance
is working with the Auto-ID Center to advance automatic identification technology
and thereby create a completely visible supply chain," notes Pam Stegeman,
Vice President of industry affairs for the Grocery Manufactures of America.
"GMA is pleased to be lending our expertise to this future-moving project,
and other associations to become active in shaping the direction and outcomes
of the Alliance's important work." The March meeting was attended by non-profit
trade bodies representing such diverse groups as retail, food marketing, grocery
manufacturers, chain drug stores, convenience stores, textile services and
hologram manufacturers. Any non-profit trade bodies that would like to attend
the July meeting should contact Brooke Peterson for further details. The MIT
Auto-ID Center is governed by a Board of Overseers. When complete, the Board
will be made up of 20 diverse sponsors from around the world, representing
industries such as consumer goods, retail, pharmaceuticals, food, transportation,
etc. A primary function of this Board will be to build consensus between what
end-users need and what technology can provide. Auto-ID sponsors have intimate
access to our research, both through the Board of Overseers meetings, as well
as through the soon to be launched sponsors only web page. This presents sponsors
with a window to the future, and therefore the opportunity to influence the
development of the architecture: all extremely valuable knowledge capital
that can be used to inform strategic plans and research. End user sponsorship
requires a $300,000 dollar one time donation, and even more important, passionate
involvement with the Center and its work. Constant dialogue with end users
is vital to the success of our research.
