Integration Consortium Creates RFID Committee
published: cw 21, 2005 in Supply Chain Technology & RFIDTo support standards and best practices for end-to-end Supply Chain Integration, the Integration Consortium (IC) announced the formation of a new committee chartered with establishing and promoting best practices and industry consensus. The committee will further enable the integration of Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) technology and data within enterprise systems.
Inaugural members of the IC?s RFID Committee include representatives from Wipro, Chronologic Systems and webMethods with working groups already being established to address the core requirements for more widespread RFID adoption, such as common technical standards, templates for various business case analysis, and expanded vendor collaboration leading to more uniform, end-toend or partner-to-partner solutions.
?As businesses look to exploit the value of RFID data, the ability to readily integrate this
information within the enterprise is becoming more and more critical. Representing leaders
from across the industry, the Integration Consortium should be commended for taking a
leadership role in addressing these business-critical requirements,? said Andrew Savitz, co-chair
of the IC RFID Committee and Director of RFID Solutions and Industry Alliances for
webMethods. ?Underscoring our commitment to producing tangible results that our members
can immediately employ, we?re delighted by the chance to showcase during the Global
Integration Summit a very real-world example of what?s possible using RFID. Based on
technology from webMethods, Verisign and others, we?re deploying an extremely unobtrusive
tracking system that vividly illustrates how easily and effectively critical information can be
accessed, leveraged and enhanced across multiple touch-points.?
