Claudio has been involved in the design of the microwave RFID identification systems since his time at university and has multiple international patents to his name. He also taught the Antenna and Microwave Theory course at the University of Florence as an Assistant Professor from 1998 to 2005. Safety & Security at the workplace is of special interest and at AME he has been instrumental in developing the EGOpro Safety which allows, through RFID technology, to reduce the risk of accidents in any operating environment.
For most industries, safety is a cost overhead. Although essential, it can slow down productivity or even, in the event of a safety incident, lead to a complete stop while issues are resolved, and investigations carried out. However, if the approach to safety changes from a reactive one to proactive, it can become an aid to achieving greater efficiency, lower costs, and higher profit margins.
