I must say the Where 2.0 conference looks fascinating. I wish I could find a good excuse to spend the moolah and go. The posibilities for these services are endless.

I put together one prototype which would track you and the freight you moved inside a warehouse so you would always know where your freight is. It would direct you and where to put your freight by optimizing the warehouse movements so you travelled the shortest distance on your forklift. Now WhereNet is doing something similar to it. I talked to the guys at Ekahau and there are a lot of other people creating products for this space (they wouldn’t tell me who though). There are absolutely huge gains to be had (no secret), its just that logistics companies aren’t the smartest in the world…

Anyway, absolutely fascinating stuff.
