Specific support will be supplied by the working groups where the Joined Working Group AIDC in Europe consists of members delegated from liaisons like BVD/ADE, BPI, VDGH, VDDI/FIDE, etc. Countries like Japan and Turkey get special local support due to growth in this areas. Additional support of technical nature will be supplied by AIM members as manufacturers and distributors for AutoID hard and software.
