Warehouse management software provider Radio Beacon Inc. has developed two radio frequency identification (RFID) Pilot Kits for companies using Microsoft Great Plains and Solomon products. The Wal-Mart RFID Compliance Pilot Kits help users add RFID labels to cartons and pallets. The OnPortal Pilot Kit extends the solution for shipping through scan tunnels.
"The demand for RFID solutions is growing among retailers, but adopting this solution can pose a cost and workflow challenge for smaller businesses. Using our trial packs, companies can easily deploy and manage a rich RFID tool set at a highly competitive price point," said Dale Jeffries, president of Radio Beacon. "Our customers, regardless of the size of their organization, will be able to quickly ensure readiness for the RFID labeling demands of their clients, putting their business in an optimal position for growth."
The OnPortal Trial Pack enables customers to utilize an RFID portal placed at the truck-loading door to automatically verify each shipment as it is being loaded.
Both kits include software from Systems Concepts Inc. (SCI) for RFID tracking.
RADIO BEACON's Wal-Mart RFID Compliance Pilot Kit includes an RFID printer, SCI PackBot software, MBS Interface, and 500 EPC Smart Labels. It is available today and priced at CDN $16,995. The OnPortal Trial Pack includes an RFID scan tunnel, RFID antennas, stack-light, photo-eye, SCI PortalBot software, SCI OnTrax RFID computer, and integration module. It is available for CDN $24,995
