This document provides an overview of RFID technology and its implementations. It discusses how RFID can be used for physical inventory, manufacturing, distribution, inventory control, jobsite asset and worker tracking, IT asset management, and access control. It then describes the TagNet RFID suite which includes reader management, filtering and collection, tag commissioning, warehouse management, and inspection reporting capabilities. Finally, it provides examples of how RFID can provide visibility, automation, and reporting for inventory management, lift trucks, check-out systems, and preventative maintenance.

4. TagNet Value…
RFID Event Management
Tag being read = ‘Event’
Real Time Business logic applied for each Event
Support for Multiple Object types
Support for Multiple RFID technologies (Passive, BAP and Active)
TagNet supports a ‘Subscription’ Model
Systems or Individuals can subscribe at various levels
Filtering Templates weed out events not of interest
Reusable Business Logic Templates can be applied at RFID portals
managed by TagNet
TagNet supports a robust Object Repository
Products, Assets, People
User Defined Attributes extends the Repository
5 level location management – configurable by industry
Rules engine for Inspecting Assets
