The emergence of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology as a force in the supply chain has created the need for middleware that can manage the flow of data between tag readers and enterprise applications in order to facilitate intelligent use of information generated by RFID tags. Multiple vendors are entering the RFID middleware space, but most lack the ability to provide an end-to-end solution that can serve basic needs such as reader connectivity as well as more advanced requirements such as application integration.

SEEBURGER's RFID Gateway is designed to address the full spectrum of RFID middleware needs, enabling an organization to implement RFID on a phased basis without changing middleware packages or engaging multiple providers.

IDnet: the market's first hosted solution for implementing an EPC-compliant "slap and ship" program.  The monthly subscription service eliminates the need for companies to install and manage the software required to match barcodes to RFID/EPC codes, print RFID/barcode labels, and automatically generate and transmit advance shipping notices (ASNs).  It also offers optional label verification before goods are shipped, can issue electronic invoices, and maintains a complete audit trail of all operations, including time of shipping and ASN transmittal as well as ASN receipt logs. The service is designed to help smaller companies lower RFID compliance costs and fulfill associated ASN requirements, as well as to provide an interim solution for larger organizations that cannot deploy enterprise-wide RFID systems in time to meet initial compliance deadlines.
