Cisco Systems has announced the launch of an intelligent technology that serves as a foundation for deploying Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The new Cisco Systems technology will help enterprises implement RFID solutions within their supply chains, providing the ability to more easily read information about products and assets. As a result,
business information flow will be optimized, leading to a reduction in operating costs. The Cisco RFID solution includes the following components:
– Cisco Application Oriented Network (AON) for RFID – an application prepared specifically for RFID needs, which intelligently processes
information generated by network applications;
– Cisco Services for RFID – dedicated Cisco Systems services for RFID technology;
– Cisco Services for RFID – dedicated Cisco Systems services for RFID technology;
– Cisco Wireless Location Service
– a real-time device monitoring mechanism;
– Partner products (Connecterra, Intermec, PanGo Networks, and ThingMagic) supporting the RFID solution offered by Cisco Systems.
– We believe that RFID technology will revolutionize the entire retail industry – says Zygmunt Miedorf, CIO and member of the board of the
METRO chain. – We are pleased with this fact, especially since we are introducing this technology in our organization. We are creating a much better image for the chain by physically eliminating the inventory problem, which, from the perspective of our industry, is one of the key aspects of doing business.
