RFID Solutions

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is poised to dramatically impact and improve the way manufacturers, distributors and retailers do business and interact with each other. RFID technology replaces printed barcodes with electronic tags that can discretely identify individual items and can be automatically tracked as they move through distribution channels.

By helping companies observe and understand the movement of inventory in real-time, RFID will reduce instances of out-of-stocks and unsaleable product; shrinkage and product loss due to theft; and the cost and manpower affiliated with moving and monitoring inventory.

To achieve the full value of RFID, companies will not only need to disseminate and process massive amounts of data, they will need to put it in the context of business events and performance so they can enhance and improve their business processes. As the world's largest independent provider of business integration software and a leading enabler of real-time business, TIBCO is uniquely capable of and committed to helping companies implement standards-compliant RFID solutions that meet today's requirements while supporting tomorrow's. TIBCO's solutions include:

• TIBCO's Shipment Receipt Verification Solution integrates EPC information with business processes and rules to provide visibility into inventory movement and receipt. This solution improves the efficiency of claims adjustment processes by mitigating the technological limitations of RFID, generating and coordinating the workflow of alerts and exceptions when scans don’t match up with established rules and logic.
• TIBCO's Track and Trace Solution gives managers and executives a real-time view of order and inventory information by incorporating EPC and business information across organizations and their network of suppliers and distributors. This enables them to more effectively match supply and demand.
