The xArray gateway drives competitive advantage with new heights of business visibility and automation. This presentation will explore how xArray enables Item Intelligence with “always on” identification and location of RAIN RFID tagged items within retail, healthcare and manufacturing environments. xArray based solutions create continuous visibility throughout a facility, or across a global supply chain, building confidence in item data and allowing businesses to improve process efficiency, deliver better customer service, and increase employee productivity.

Why xArray and CrossTalk?
1. Seamless integration, consolidation and monitoring of
multiple xArrays in multiple sites
2. Mapping and transformation of physical X/Y data into
logical zones and business events
3. Reduction of data streams from local devices to
centralized business systems using cascaded filtering
levels
4. Run xArray POCs “out of the box”, using the generic
CrossTalk ObjectTracking App
5. Focus on RFID deployment and business process
optimization utilizing a very innovative and stable
software architecture
