New RFID Center Shows Customers How Solutions Lead to Business Value
DALLAS (PRWEB) August 8, 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.”
