RAN RFID-based Automotive Network Due to the effects of globalization, the general conditions of the automotive industry have changed. Individual customer demands, new drive technologies, and innovations lead to a continuously growing number of product variants. Therefore, automotive manufacturers focus on their key competences and expertise and reduce their vertical integration of manufacture. Consequently the complexity of production and logistic networks of the automotive industry increases and necessarily have to be controlled. The objective of this research project was on the one hand the improvement of information transparency in the networks and on the other hand the optimization of process control. Thus the development of a procedure to integrate logistical and product specific information in inter and intra tools for job control is necessary. Hence, a standard for exchanging process relevant information, to optimize the supply chain in real time, was developed. Based on this, a hybrid framework for utilizing central and local process control was designed. This approach enables a fast and flexible reaction on alerting situations in the network.
