RedPrairie Offers Flexible RFID Software Solutions for RFID Compliance

RFID technology is an integral part of the RedPrairie software suite. For companies with legacy systems and RFID compliance requirements for the WalMart or DOD mandates, RedPrairie has created RFID Igniter™ and RFID Accelerator™. These RFID software applications can be easily integrated with any ERP or distribution system.

Recently, RedPrairie Corporation announced it is leading the RFID pilot for Unilever North America. The pilot enables Unilever to implement and test RFID technology in its supply chain to prepare for compliance with the mandates from WalMart other top retailers and the U.S. Department of Defense to ship products using RFID at the pallet and case level next year.

Three Unilever locations have been chosen for the pilot, including a manufacturing site and two distribution centers. RedPrairie’s RFID AcceleratorTM software will enable Unilever to meet the demands of the large retailers without replacing its existing infrastructure. The application provides RFID software agents, which collect and verify RFID tag information, retrieve related inventory data, and pass this combined information to the retailers. This RFID software solution provides the pallet and case-level RFID information that Wal-Mart, Target and others require.
