The RFideaWorks provides high-performance, flexible RFID-enabling solutions to help businesses meet new Wal-Mart, DoD, and international RFID standards - regardless of which standards are used where. This means a company can do business in a "mix or match" RFID standards world, like EPC, ISO's, proprietary, bar codes and other data input, and still have their existing enterprise information systems working smoothly and efficiently throughout the enterprise, supply chain, and customer base.

RFIdb (TM) is the first database designed from the ground up specifically for RFID and integrated with existing enterprise systems. RFIdb easily handles the high speeds and large data volumes generated by RFID systems for on-line transaction processing & applications processing of RFID data. RFIdb is a memory-resident relational database that can process up to 1,000 RFID tag transactions per second - this is about 5X faster than current RFID tag readers on the market! Because of its superior performance capabilities and throughput, RFIdb provides database preprocessing of tag information thus relieving the RDBMS from overwhelming amounts of RFID data to avoid bottlenecks. RFIdb provides rapid RFID-enablement and integrated information for Oracle, regardless of RFID standards or requirements.

RFIdirector is innovative middleware providing complete flexibility for the global RFID community. It solves the key issues of lack of uniform standards, and problems that arise when a consumer product company or military supplier uses one type of RFID tag while the retailer, distributor, or shipper/transporter uses another. Based on unique patent-pending tag description, translation, and processing language & methodology, RFIdirector alone works with EPC, ISO's, ANSI/NCITS 256, UID, and even proprietary RFID tag standards at high-rates of speed.
