FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
As Manufacturers Confront RFID Compliance,
One Solution Provider Offers Certified Know-How
Big box retailers and the Department of Defense have laid
down the law for vendors: ship with RFID (radio frequency
identification) tags or don’t ship at all. A Minnesota-based
high-tech integrator specializing in bar code and auto ID
systems responds with a bundled solution that takes the mystery
out of this fast-growing technology.
Wayzata,
MN – May 8, 2006 - Wireless Network Solutions, Inc., a
provider of value-added auto ID (automatic identification) and
data collection solutions, announced Friday that it has
completed certification as a ScanSource RFID Edge™ Solution
Provider.
Upon completing the program, Wireless Network
Solutions, Inc. created its own RFID Quick Start kit, a bundled
solution that provides clients a fully operational RFID system
in 48 hours or less.
Major retailers like Wal-Mart, Best
Buy and Target have adopted RFID (radio frequency
identification) to identify and track inventory, and now require
their suppliers to do so as well.
An RFID “smart label”
contains an embedded tag generated by a RFID printer. The latest
tags, known as “Class 1 Gen 2,” standard, can hold a large
volume of data, company and database information. Once decoded
with a RFID Mobile Computer or Gate Reader, that information can
be instantly transmitted to a computer network. The technology
offers to streamline business processes including supply chain
management, inventory control, and security.
“I’ve found
that people have heard a lot about RFID, but don’t know where to
begin. We developed this kit as a “proof of concept” so they can
become comfortable with the technology and identify processes
that would benefit from it,” Tom Eagan, CEO of Wireless Network
Solutions, said.
“Companies will discover that RFID
complements their existing bar code infrastructures. With our
core competency in bar code scanning and data collection, we are
well-positioned to assist clients in determine if RFID is right
for them.”
The ScanSource RFID Edge program consists of
4 ½ days of intensive hands-on training in a warehouse
environment. Participants gain the skills and knowledge
necessary to build a comprehensive RFID solution, which includes
tags, labels, middleware, readers and printers.
