Hardware/Infrastructure Considerations
Once your smart labels have been applied to their target container
or pallet you will need external readers for tracking them through
your supply chain. Such readers are typically networked devices
that are deployed at key points in the warehouse or distribution
center to track incoming and outgoing packages. The readers are
managed through a server for gathering and filtering all the RFID
information. Readers may have multiple antennas to maximize read
range and reliability.
The readers you purchase must be compatible with the smart
labels programmed by the printer. Specifically, they should be EPC
Class I compliant. Fixed position readers and their antennas can be
purchased from Alien Technology (www.AlienTechnology.com).
Handheld readers with integrated antennas can be purchased from
AWID (www.awid.com).
The data that are gathered by the reader servers must be managed
for tracking and archiving purposes. Software applications that
perform these tasks are available from companies such as
Manhattan Associates (www.manh.com).
