Provia's ViaWare Warehouse Management System Included as a Key Component
of Sun's RFID Industry Solution Architecture for Manufacturers
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. and DALLAS, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Provia Software, a
leading provider of order-to-delivery supply chain execution software, today
announced that Provia's ViaWare Warehouse Management System (WMS) will be
featured as part of Sun Microsystems' new RFID Industry Solution Architecture
(ISA) for Manufacturing at the RFID World Conference, taking place this week
in Dallas.
The RFID ISA for Manufacturing simplifies and accelerates the process of
designing and integrating an RFID solution. It is a complete end-to-end RFID
solution designed to address the specific business challenges of the consumer
package goods industry and help these customers fully leverage the power of
RFID by increasing efficiencies, reducing costs and accelerating business
decisions.
WMS is a critical component in an end-to-end RFID solution and allows for
the RFID data to be fully utilized throughout the supply chain, boosting the
effectiveness of a company's supply chain. The integration with ViaWare WMS
will allow for automated processing of advance ship notifications, as well as
alert the manufacturer on a product's status as it moves throughout the
warehousing and distribution supply chain.
"As the first touch point for integrating RFID data into the enterprise, a
WMS is an essential element for the Sun RFID ISA for Manufacturing," said
Vijay Sarathy, director of RFID product marketing and strategy. "We choose to
integrate with Provia's ViaWare WMS because Provia's best-of-breed supply
chain system has demonstrated its ability to work alongside the Sun Java(TM)
System RFID Software to support large scale, mission critical customer
environments."
Beginning Tuesday, RFID World covers the broadest range of RFID
technologies and markets, and is designed to provide companies with practical,
in-depth strategies for deploying RFID and EPC solutions. RFID World 2005
will run from March 1-3 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and will feature more than
100 exhibitors, eight breakout tracks and more than 30 educational sessions.
"It is important to continually demonstrate to organizations, especially
manufacturers, exactly how and where RFID will impact their supply chains,"
said Paul Crist, Provia's vice president of global sales and marketing.
"Through this exhibition of the Sun Industry Solution Architecture for
Manufacturing, companies will gain an understanding and appreciation for how
RFID will work within their enterprise."
