This document discusses an RFID traceability project integrated with OpenERP. The project aims to manage Electronic Product Codes (EPC) within OpenERP to allow products to be traced using RFID tags. The project will generate EPC codes in OpenERP based on product details and read/write RFID tags connected to readers via a standard called ALE. The project is currently working with OpenERP 6.0 and future work includes migrating to version 7.

3. RFID ?
• Radio Frequency Identification
• Save dataS into a tag
• Identification of one product not a type
• Barcode evolution
• 1 Scan more than one product scanned
• Contactless

4. Positionning
• RFID software already exists
• Only RFID software
• Licensed software
• Global demand for a better Tracability
• Big Market
• OERP = SMB accesibility

5. R&D project
• IT-Tirex
• 2012 to 2013
• Wallonia
• F.E.D.E.R.
• Multi compagny

6. Project Scope
• Read/Write RFID tag
• Not only for OERP
• Multi system
• Easier with OERP
• Centralized Information
• Respect standard
• EPC Global
• We work with ALE

8. BHC Scope
• Manage EPC code inside OERP
• EPC code = Tag RFID data
• Read/Write RFID tag from Reader through ALE
• Read RFID tag from Tirex

9. Architecture

10. Manage EPC code into OERP
• Project first step
• Generate EPC code from OERP
• Template by product
• Base on different value
• Product code or EAN
• Company code
• Product type code
• Create automatically the unique part

11. Manage EPC code into OERP
• Manage partner EPC code
• Receive product with an existing code

12. Manage EPC code into OERP
• Manage Template

13. Manage EPC code into OERP
• Manage unique part

14. Manage EPC code into OERP
• Manage unique part (Form view)

15. OERP Flow
• Step 1: Receive product

17. OERP Flow
• Step 2: Manufacturing – Products to Consume

18. OERP Flow
• Step 3: Manufacturing – Finished Product

19. OERP Flow
• Step 4: Delivery

20. OERP Flow
• Show the EPC code flow

21. Read/Write RFID tag from Reader through ALE
• RFID Hardware implement ALE standard
• Soap call to ALE
• Automatic dispatching for EPC code

22. Read RFID tag from Tirex
• Similar to direct call to ALE
• Base on the same standard
• Interest ?
• Save data in a db
• Follow your product into other company

23. Project State
• Work with OERP V6.0
• Migration V7: To Do
• POC OK
