Transcript of TET Presentation
A Joint Proposal by Logistics and SR&W
RFID: Revolutionizing
petPRO’s Supply Chain
What is RFID?
A data collection technology
Allows data to be transferred from data-storing memory chips (tags) to data-gathering readers
Transmitted data can provide a multitude of information about the product
Commonly used to track assets
How is RFID Used?
An RFID tag attached to a product can be read/interrogated by a reader about its data (product information)
RFID readers can be stationary or mobile
RFID tags can be passive or active
petPRO Applications
Would revolutionize our supply chain by providing a with a multitude of product information:
- Product components
- Product history
- Product location
- Product usage
Tracking Products at Every Stage of the Supply Chain
Our primary responsibility is to monitor and control the flow of goods
With RFID, we would know exactly when each product is at each stage of the supply chain
This would allow us to know whether or not our product flow schedules and timelines being followed
RFID as a tool to evaluate Logistics’ standards and the efficiency of the supply chain
RFID and Logistics
Logistics and the Supply Chain
Logistics controls the flow of goods through the supply chain, from the point of origin to the point of consumption.
Software #1: Symbol Technologies Inc.’s RFID Solutions
Worldwide leader in enterprise mobility, the first organization to implement working RFID solutions
Offers a set of RFID solutions
Software #1: (con’t)Symbol Technologies Inc.’s RFID Solutions
XR400 Fixed Reader Gen 2 certified for capacity and security Enterprise connectivity for existing infrastructure Reliable readability despite interference potential Read, update, and transfer data Most reliable on the market
MC9000-G Handheld Reader Collects/distributes data at critical points Cost-effective, reliable, long-life Pinpoints inventory location
Software #1: (con’t)Symbol Technologies Inc.’s RFID Solutions
Symbol Tags Different varieties for different needs Unique inlay antennas for optimum sensitivity Applied to cases, pallets, or products
DC400 Portal System Tracks all assets passing through primary read
zones Includes components to create read zone “Plug and Play” installation
Software #1: (con’t)Symbol Technologies Inc.’s RFID Solutions
Comments
Products undoubtedly facilitate tracking products
Products to be used with existing information systems = potential difficulty
Is more of a product line than a networked solution
RFID and SR&W
Our primary responsibility is to monitor the physical aspects of controlling the flow of goods
Supply Chain Management: tracking inventory levels, communicating with supplies in transit to petPro headquarters, tracking shipments on the way to customers, forecast delays in shipments
RFID will allow us to know whether or not our asset levels are up to par, also maintain the standards logistics has set out for product flow schedules and timelines
Software #2: (con’t)Sun’s Java Enterprise System
Software #2: (con’t)Sun’s Java Enterprise System
After the reader interrogates the items it sends that data into the next architecture in the system, the Java System RFID Software for processing.
The Event Manager is designed to process streams of tag or sensor data coming from the reader.
Has the capability to filter and aggregate data prior to sending it to a requesting application.
Software #2:Sun’s Java Enterprise System
The other major component is the Java System RFID Information Server.
Sun advocates that integration technologies be used to connect the RFID Event Manager layer to enterprise information systems (EIS).
Software #2: (con’t)Sun’s Java Enterprise System
Comments
Sun’s Java Enterprise System is easily integrated with petPRO’s existing systems such as SAP, SCM, WHM
The software has highly sophisticate components that can perform intelligent tasks such as filtering, processing, and manipulating data.
