Optimized RFID Solutions

Our Technology Approach

We deliver a turnkey RFID solution that minimizes operational disruption and lowers costs to help achieve positive ROI.

• We create a Managed RFID Network that integrates best-of-breed auto-ID hardware (RFID, barcode, etc.), Adaptive RFID applications (supply chain, manufacturing and compliance) and systems management tools so that IT support costs are minimized.
• We use Open Standards to lower hardware and software costs, enabling the solution to scale cost-effectively as RFID deployment increases.
• We develop easy to use software to minimize training time and costs.
• We built an adaptable service-based architecture to efficiently handle business systems integration.

Applications

Adaptive RFID provides simple, easy-to-use applications (distributed by the appliance) that run on any modern desktop or laptop computer. These tools are designed for DoD and EPC compliance, and fit a diverse range of shipping volumes, manufacturing and warehouse processes. An administrator application is provided to simplify management of the RFID equipment and resources.

Appliance

Our optimized Linux-based appliance delivers all the functionality, security and stability of other proprietary platforms at a fraction of the cost. The appliance is the center of our Managed RFID Network concept; it handles the distribution of Adaptive RFID compliance applications, management of RFID hardware, backups, and the electronic transmission of ASNs to trading partners.

Managed Services Center

• Manages system up-time & recovery
• Keeps customers current with compliance requirements
• Monitors the performance of RFID supply chain processes and technology components

Trading Partners

• Wal-Mart, the DoD, and other major players have begun mandating use of RFID tags by many suppliers.
• As new organizations publish their mandates Adaptive RFID will embed these in our products to automatically keep customers current with compliance requirements
• We manage EDI communication with trading partners, e.g. automated shipping notice (ASN).
