RFID Network Software from ProdexNet

Wal-Mart has done the industry a huge favor by mandating the use of RFID for some applications at the case and pallet level . This mandate alone is responsible for getting many companies off the fence and into RFID playing field. While the Wal-Mart mandate has immediate implications in the retail and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) markets and their associated supply chains, the mandate is also producing a cascade effect that is propelling RFID into many other diverse industry segments such as Defense, Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare. Case in point - we've already seen the US DoD issue a mandate to its suppliers that is along the same lines of the Wal-Mart mandate. It is only a matter of time before we see mandates from players in other industries.

In its quest to provide end-to-end visibility of the RFID infrastructure and the business processes it enables, ProdexNet delivers NetGather for RFID, a solution that simplifies and automates the operations of an RFID network, end-to-end.

To be able to accomplish this, you will not only need to get end-to-end visibility of your infrastructure, but also be able to effect changes and upgrades in an effective manner.

ProdexNet addresses all these issues with NetGather for RFID:
