An operator uses a fixed RFID reader to track laptops that Track Assets are entering and exiting a facility. An operator uses a RFID forklift reader to move pallets from Put away receiving bay to storage shelves. An operator uses a handheld to pick a list of items and move Picking them from back to front store. A reader inside the shelf reports stock level on shelf and Smart Shelf also customer interactions.

- How do you think we can solve the above problems and enhance overall businessefficiencies? Physical world visibility is the key enabler to solving some of the above problems
- The RFID handheld reader market has really taken off. Primary trends driving this shift in demand include: Mobile readers enables newer scenarios that were difficult to achieve with fixed readers; human being can reach parts of your warehouse or retail where it is difficult to deploy fixed readersCan re-use mobile readers for multiple tasks Integrated barcode and RFID scanning You can do processing and storage on the device itselfIn the pictures here, you can see an integrated RFID and barcode scanner. This is a rugged handheld reader that can read both RFID tags as well as barcodes.Right side –we have a forklift reader. This is a reader that is ‘fixed’ on the forklift, but has UI on it. It is also mobile in the sense that it moves, but is not a handheld device.
- If you would like to host your demo on the Virtual Server, please use the myVPC demo slide, not this slide.
- This platform would collect events (tag events) and forwards these events to R2 server. This also needs to handle device being offline.Another thing that the platform needs to do is to enable event processing on the device itself. It could do this by allowing tag filtering, duplicate elimination. Eliminate data islands Let’s now dive into the BizTalk RFID Mobile platform and how it enables solving the mobile scenarios. Let’s say that, in your organization, you have deployed a mix of handheld RFID readers from various manufacturers. Each of these handheld readers would have an embedded radio module and its custom SDK to access the functionality. With BizTalk RFID Mobile, you can now write your RFID application in a device agnostic way. Thus, you focus on the business logic, instead of worrying about the lower level details of how to talk to the device. This is achieved by having a layer called DSPI, which is an abstration layer for talking to the radio module.So, instead of 1000 lines of code, you can now get done in 100 lines of code. In an RFID application, you typically want to get events from the radio or barcode module. You also want to have a way to tweak the module configuration, for e.g. adjusting the radio power level based on your scenario. BizTalk RFID Mobile makes it really easy to do such operations. You can do processing on the device itself, such as filtering events or eliminating duplicates. The mobile devices typically don’t have a whole lot of memory/storage. To enable processing of these events on a Server machine, BizTalk RFID Mobile provides an easy way to enable store and forward of the events from the device to BizTalk RFIDServer. Offline/online scenarios.Also, consider a scenario where a warehouse operator suddenly finds that he is not getting any tag reads. He calls up the central administrator. The central administrator uses RFID Manager in BizTalk RFID Server to view the radio properties of the device and fixes the power level. The warehouse operator’s problem is solved.Critical alerts from the mobile device can be monitored in SCOM using the BizTalk RFID Management Pack. For e.g. antenna noise level could be higher than a particular threshold – this event can be raised from the mobile device and be observed in the SCOM Alerts through the BizTalk RFID Server management pack.
- Start with the BizTalk RFID Server Stack -> Talk about DSPI -> Talk about provider/device. Talk a bit about the Service and the Object Model. Now talk about the mobile stack:Maintain the same interfaces: makes it easy for provider developers or application developers to understand the new stack.Talk about “Radio Module” and DSPI providerTalk about local managementTalk about store-and-forward and remote management.Talk about “entire mobile device” shows up as a “device” in BizTalk RFID Server.
- RFID provides real time visibility into physical world assetsEverything that moves can be trackedProvides real time observation system for physical worldRFID allows us to provide unique identifier to every object
