New RFID Center Shows Customers How Solutions Lead to Business Value
8 August 2005
Xterprise Incorporated, the leading solutions provider for the “RFID Enabled Supply Chain,” announces its new, custom-designed headquarters, where the company recently hosted a multiday open house for customers.
More than an expanded headquarters, the facility is home to a 6,000 square foot state-of-the-art RFID Solution Center. The center gives Xterprise an operational warehouse/manufacturing environment to showcase its complete suite of solutions that it has deployed around the globe.
The growing list of Xterprise solutions serve the needs of many markets: retail, supply chain visibility, food and pharmaceutical cold chain (temperature tracking) and asset management.
On display in the Solutions Center is the company’s suite of retail RFID solutions, XARM™ (1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000). The product line addresses a spectrum of customer needs, from the most basic low volume application to the more complex, higher volume in-line production manufacturing application.
Xterprise’s inventory visibility, cold chain and asset management solution, TraX™, addresses an even wider range of supply chains. The company has deployed TraX™ for high tech/electronics, food and pharmaceutical cold chain and reusable asset management in North America, Asia, and Europe.
“Existing and prospective customers are excited to see new RFID business solutions that are an essential part of the roadmap to an ROI,” said Steve Hall, Senior Vice President Sales at Xterprise. “Our team has and is deploying RFID solutions for some of the most respected and largest supply chains in the world. The open house gave us a chance to showcase these solutions. The response was so strong; we will host another customer open house August 31st and September 1st.”
“Our first solution center opened 24 months ago. Then, we focused on RFID basics; tag and reader analysis, product testing and basic RFID training. Now, in response to the market demand to see pragmatic business solutions in an environment that emulates real supply chains, we have designed this facility to show customers the spectrum from tag engineering to generating an ROI,” said Dan Ahearn, Vice President of Solution Services at Xterprise.
One measure of Xterprise’s market leadership is co-sponsorship of the facility from leading RFID technology providers. Sponsors includes: Alien Technology, Zebra Technology, Symbol, Apriso, Red Prairie, TrueDemand, DPI and others.
Xterprise brings together a unique blend of partnerships and pragmatic logistics know how. “There are so many touch points and interfaces between Systems, Machines and Humans in an effective solution; you must manage exceptions as a normal reality. We have invested in designing around these nuances while being able to meet production standards and manage the pre and post shipment RFID data efficiently that enable the business value. We have performed extensive research on the total cost and benefits of RFID infrastructure solutions, including labor, support, infrastructure, scalability and we’ve found infrastructure is only half of the story,” added Ahearn. “The value of RFID comes from having solutions that can use information created across multi-party RFID enabled supply chains to better respond to the market’s real demand for products ... leading to a positive ROI.”
