RFID Anywhere 3.1 Addresses Growing Marketplace Need to Develop, Deploy and
Manage Vehicle-Mounted RFID Applications Including Forklift Devices;
Technology Validated by Industry Leader LXE
DALLAS, RFID World 2007, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sybase
iAnywhere today announced new enhancements to RFID Anywhere(TM), the
company's software infrastructure that provides a customizable environment
for developing and managing robust, highly-distributed radio frequency
identification (RFID) solutions. With RFID Anywhere 3.1, Sybase iAnywhere
continues to break new ground with advanced on-device capabilities for
vehicle-mounted terminals, allowing these devices to work autonomously,
dramatically reducing the amount of data that needs to be communicated back
to enterprise servers. RFID Anywhere 3.1 has been certified to work with
and will support LXE's RX2 forklift RFID devices.
"Sybase iAnywhere truly understands the requirements for mobile and
vehicle-mounted based RFID applications," said Dick Sorenson, RFID
director, LXE. "RFID Anywhere 3.1 combines technologies such as RFID,
voice, mobile, location-awareness, business intelligence and barcode
scanning, making it the perfect fit for LXE rugged mobile RFID readers,
enabling customers to rapidly develop, deploy and manage mobile RFID
warehouse applications."
LXE provides rugged wireless computers and data collection solutions
that improve supply chain performance. LXE's RX2 rugged lift truck-mounted
RFID reader is an easy-to-install, vehicle-mounted RFID reader designed for
RFID- enabled forklift pallet movement applications such as shipping,
receiving, picking and put-aways. LXE's ARIA (Adaptive Recognition and
Information Assurance) solutions combine the strengths of multiple
technologies, such as RFID, voice recognition, sensors and wearable
computing, with next generation software applications and new business
processes so that warehouse operators can execute warehouse transactions
more naturally, efficiently and effectively. ARIA-enabled solutions built
on the RFID Anywhere technology infrastructure will achieve new levels of
efficiency, velocity, visibility and accuracy in supply chain execution.
"As we continue to work with customers and partners such as LXE, there
is a growing demand to support multiple sensor technologies, including
voice interactions," said Martyn Mallick, director of RFID technologies,
Sybase iAnywhere. "With RFID Anywhere 3.1 we continue to lead the market by
providing an intelligent client that allows these devices to filter, smooth
and report on data in real-time without human interaction. This is a vast
improvement over current mobile and vehicle-mounted implementations."
RFID Anywhere 3.1 offers key enhancements in a number of areas:
* Enhanced support for vehicle-mounted devices, including the LXE RX2
forklift RFID device, providing enhanced on-device functionality, including
smoothing implementation, unattended client, automatic start, the ability
to work both online and offline, and extended mobile device events
* Updated connectors for Active RFID and RTLS devices to support the
INCITS T20 standard
* New support for the Point Six temperature sensor
* Enhancing support for passive RFID with updates to existing hardware
connectors and new hardware connectors for Siemens SIMATIC(R) RF
* Administrator console improvements including the ability to deploy
device firmware updates
