A Scalable Suite of Middleware Solutions for RFID Deployments.

SEEBURGER’s RFID Workbench is a comprehensive, scalable, EPC-compliant middleware solution providing advanced data, tag, and hardware management capabilities for all stages and kinds of RFID deployments, including Wal-Mart, Department of Defense and many other applications. Different editions enable the software to be used to simulate RFID processes before large-scale deployments; as a standalone RFID operating solution for pilot projects and small companies; and in an implementation that is fully integrated with internal enterprise applications and external trading partners.

The emergence of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology as a force in the supply chain has created the need for middleware that can manage the flow of data between tag readers and enterprise applications in order to facilitate intelligent use of information generated by RFID tags. Multiple vendors are entering the RFID middleware space, but most lack the ability to provide an end-to-end solution that can serve basic needs such as reader connectivity as well as more advanced requirements such as application integration. SEEBURGER’s RFID Workbench is designed to address the full spectrum of RFID middleware needs, enabling an organization to implement RFID on a phased basis without changing middleware packages or engaging multiple providers. 

• Modular architecture for step-by-step implementation, with the ability to scale from a standalone platform to full enterprise application and trading partner integration without changing systems or providers.
• Platform independence, with a 100% Java-based architecture that permits deployment in any Java-compatible Windows, UNIX or AS/400 environment.
• Rapid integration with enterprise applications and trading partners, typically two to three times faster and therefore less costly than other solutions, via converters and preconfigured mapping libraries leveraging SEEBURGER’s 19-year experience in EDI, EAI and B2B integration.
• Best-of-breed graphical user interface, making it easy to visually represent the supply chain to aid setup and tracking of products from point to point.
• Simulation mode, enabling companies to map and test RFID infrastructure and processes — including simulation of events, product flows and data flows — before an RFID implementation.
• Highly configurable event management enabling granular control of routing and other functions, including the unusual ability to configure events and reports differently for different distribution centers.

• RFID Workbench/Light, a simulation and development tool allowing users to model logistic processes, test RFID reader placement, and fine-tune RFID infrastructure before an RFID implementation.
• RFID Workbench/Standard, a standalone RFID operating solution for pilot projects and small companies including tag verification, EPC/UPC product code matching, event management and alarm activation, local event configuration, graphical displays, and a variety of other features enabling companies to implement RFID projects quickly and economically.
• RFID Workbench/PRO, enabling full integration of RFID tag data to an organization’s ERP or WMS systems; linking of databases for filtering, comparison and analysis of RFID information; and forwarding of data to external partners for use in managing the supply chain.

SEEBURGER is a provider of advanced business integration solutions and services to more than 7,000 companies in 42 countries. Launched in 1986 to provide trading partner enablement solutions to the automotive industry, the company today serves more than 15 industries through its flagship B2B Gateway and related products.
