In regard to manufacturing control of components for nuclear power plants as well as construction and maintenance of such plants, "traceability" of information such as construction records and work records has become even more strongly required over recent years. Meanwhile, RFID technology (which identifies people and products in mass-production industries by means of radiowaves) is used as a basic technology for supporting the "ubiquitous information society," and its functionality and versatility are improving all the time. With this background in mind, the Hitachi Group has developed systems that apply RFID technologies to manufacturing control of pipe fabrication and construction management of nuclear power plants in order to improve quality and reliability of such plants, and the implementation of these RFID technologies is continuing to show effective results.
