ConnecTerra Announces RFTagAware Enterprise Server; Leading RFTagAware Product Family Extended to Include Centralized Services for RFID Networks
ATLANTA --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 13, 2005 -- ConnecTerra, a leading supplier of enterprise software for RFID and device computing, announced today at the EPCglobal U.S. Conference that it has expanded its RFTagAware(TM) family of products to include RFTagAware Enterprise Server, a robust technology platform for RFID data management and integration. Enterprise Server addresses real-world RFID deployment challenges by bringing centralized Electronic Product Code (EPC) event and location management, cross-facility data integration and reporting, and centralized EPC number management to distributed RFID operations.
Designed based on close collaboration with large retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) customers and enterprise platform partners, RFTagAware Enterprise Server delivers a standards-based, modular, production-proven platform for companies that need to manage an increasing number of RFID devices and escalating amounts of RFID data across multiple facilities.
"Enterprise Server bridges a critical gap between RFID data and the value companies hope to derive from it." said Ken Traub, Chief Technical Officer, ConnecTerra. "Our collaboration with customers and partners on the leading edge of RFID deployment has helped us deliver a product that is unmatched in answering today's challenges of leveraging data from distributed RFID deployments of all sizes."
RFID-enabled processes such as tagging at the point of manufacture, tag and ship operations, shipping and receiving verification, asset tracking and inventory management all generate data that must be managed efficiently across multiple facilities in order to achieve the full benefit of RFID. Enterprise Server allows customers to make real-time RFID data from each of these operations a critical part of their organizations, providing the capability to collect, store, query and report on all EPC events within and across organizations regardless of the source or process.
The modular structure of Enterprise Server allows companies to select which capabilities are most important to use within their environment, easing integration with existing IT infrastructure components. Key features include:
-- Implementation of the EPCglobal Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS) specification for events and queries
-- Centralized system of record for all enterprise EPC-related activity
-- Industry standard interfaces, such as web services, for integration and data exchange
-- EPC event reporting including built-in reports and support for popular data query and reporting tools
-- Location directory; establishing a system of record for all location identifiers and maintaining logical relationships between physical infrastructure and business roles
-- EPC number assignment; providing the coordination and allocation of EPC serial numbers for tag programming across sites
Enterprise Server is the latest addition to the ConnecTerra RFTagAware family of products designed on an innovative product architecture developed to support all phases of RFID application development and solution deployment. This architecture serves as the foundation of a modular, scalable family of products including RFTagAware Edge Server(TM), RFTagAware Compliance Jump Start(TM), portal workflows, RFID tagging and verification appliances, and now, RFTagAware Enterprise Server.
ConnecTerra's product architecture has been embraced by many key partners all playing significant roles in bringing compatible, powerful RFID solutions to customers across all markets.
