AIM Launches New Strategic Vision for AIDC Industry Standards and Advocacy

AIM, the alliance for the automated data capture technologies industry, including barcode, RFID, IoT, NFC, and RTLS, announced the organization’s strategic plan to further its reach amongst stakeholders within the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) marketplace. The strategic plan places an emphasis on positioning AIM as the leader and knowledge source for new AIDC industry standards and technologies, including IoT, blockchain, AI, robotics, and drone development.

One of the main goals of AIM’s strategic plan is to provide a new set of AIDC standards for members and the public through a newly created “AIM Standards Marketplace.” Through this resource, anyone can access the latest AIDC industry standards. Working in partnership with like-minded organizations, AIM will collaborate in the development and maintenance of these standards, updating them in real-time as they evolve with the changing markets.

In addition, the organization has identified areas of focus that will be emphasized as part of its new strategic direction. These include broadening the definition of AIM’s stakeholders to include any individual and/or organization with an interest in AIDC technologies, increasing advocacy of members and partners, and delivering more educational content, among several other initiatives.
