Established in 1984 and named for Richard R. Dilling, an
industry pioneer and former Vice President
of AIM, the Dilling Award is the highest
award given to an individual from the vendor
community in the Automatic Identification
and Data Capture (AIDC) industry. It is
presented to executives, scientists, and
engineers in recognition of outstanding
contributions that have furthered the growth
of the industry through important
applications and new technological
developments. The recipient is nominated and
selected by the AIM president, and committee
of the industry’s elite. Only one award is
made each year, selected from many worthy
candidates. The AIDC 100 became a co-sponsor
of the Award in 2004.
