OATSystems RFID Solution Tracks Assets and Work-in-Process to Lower Working Capital

HP also uses the system to create product DNA to save unique information on the RFID tag for each printer.

Today, the OAT solution is supporting nine RFID-enabled manufacturing and product completion lines producing over three million products annually. " ...
