Softworx releases SSA RFID v2.0 to the local market

Johannesburg, 20 Jul 2006

Softworx, regional SSA Global master distributor and a member of the EOH Group of companies, has introduced SSA Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) v2.0 to the local market.

RFID technology embraces the demand-driven supply chain model, connecting suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers in order to share product movement data. SSA Global RFID technology conforms to GDSNetwork and EPCglobal Network standards and shares the common goal to facilitate the involvement of unique product identification and tracking information among supply chain partners.

"RFID is strategic product that allows clients to comply with RFID mandates for retail, Department of Defence and pharmaceutical and life sciences," comments Niel West, Head of SSA Supply chain, Softworx. "The technology has helped high-visibility customers to achieve operational efficiencies by reducing bar code scanning and increasing inventory visibility at the level where it counts most."

Included are devices, reader and device management, data management, application integration, hardware, and the ability to work in conjunction with existing radio frequency equipment. The technology makes it possible for organisations to manage and track the movement of materials inside and outside the warehouse more effectively by eliminating the need for manual receiving and shipping.

The key features and functions of SSA RFID include:
* EPCglobal standards compliancy
* RFID tag generation and printing capabilities
* Edge process management platform
* Workflow-based business processes
* Standard shipping and receiving processes
* Advanced packaging and pallet building service
* Edge device management platform
* Data filtering and validation
* Network device monitoring
* Integration services

SSA RFID supports SSA Global and non-SSA applications and can enable any enterprise to be RFID driven.
