  Abstract/
Summary
Current research into integrating RFID into metal parts has shown the practical feasibility of embedding transponders directly into aluminum during the casting process. This introduces the possibility of augmenting parts with decision making capabilities immediately after casting. Along with concepts from the field of intelligent products and models of autonomous control in production such as the product variant corridor and multi-agent systems, the potential for optimizing the beginning-of-life phase of the lifecycles of products with such cast RFID are immense. This paper explores these potentials and introduces concepts and methods for the autonomous control of cast-RFID-based intelligent products in production and assembly processes.
