AIDO - RFID company. Been invited by Thailand to tag chickens as part of their efforts against the Thailand's Bird Flu crisis.
There was a delay early 2005 because of elections. Now that it's over, I think we might hear something soon. My bet is early April. Maybe keep an eye.

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 2004--Advanced ID Corporation (OTCBB:AIDO - News), a total solutions provider in the radio frequency identification (RFID) market, today announced that it met with Thailand Government officials to demonstrate the capabilities of its RFID livestock identification and trace back technology under a disease outbreak simulation.

The demonstration was given to six government and corporate officials including Dr. Yukol Limlamthong, Director General, Department of Livestock Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, and other representatives from the Thailand Animal Identification Program. The demonstration successfully showed the vital details necessary to pinpoint the location of a diseased animal back to its herd of origin, identifying each transitional location and showing all points of contact.

Seymour Kazimirski, Chairman of Advanced ID Corporation and present at the meeting, commented, "Although our demonstration was done to show the virtues of our RFID identification and trace back system for large animals, government officials have indicated their intent to utilize our system for implementation of a poultry identification program. Given Thailand's Bird Flu crisis which has led to human deaths, and is threatening to destroy their poultry exports, we have been asked to provide Thailand officials with an implementation plan for livestock identification related to export license farms, transportation vehicles and processing plants. The implementation of an identification and trace back system for poultry will be done in conjunction with Thailand's requirements to identify cattle and hogs."

In other news, Bill Hoffman, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing for Advanced ID, was elected Chairman of the AIAG's (Automotive Industry Action Group) B-11: Label and RFID Tire and Wheel Identification and Tracking Committee for the third time this year. The B-11 Committee convened again this summer, and with the co-operation of EPC Global, added EPC data carrying capability to the standard.
