Business software developer SAP and chipmaker Infineon Technologies have jointly produced a radio frequency identification (RFID) platform to connect and manage RFID hardware and software from multiple vendors. The platform is based on SAP’s NetWeaver and Infineon's RFID You-R OPEN (OPerating ENvironment) device integration platforms.
The platform can manage a full range of RFID implementations, from tags to enterprise applications, including RFID device management, related hardware and software products and services.
SAP and Infineon will be offering the platform for pilot implementations in retail organisations as well as more complex installations in the industrial manufacturing, high tech and aerospace industries. Companies will be able to undertake incremental roll-outs, beginning with basic compliance, logistics, vendor-managed inventory and collaborative manufacturing and, as needs arise, moving to RFID industry solutions and full-scale RFID-enabled business processes.
Infineon is already using the platform within its own supply chains.
