RFID WORLD 2006, DALLAS, Feb. 27 /-- BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAS), a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software, invites you to see demonstrations of its BEA WebLogic RFID product family at RFID World 2006, Booth 1318, scheduled to be held in Dallas, Texas, February 27 - March 1, 2006.
Leveraging technology from BEA's acquisition of ConnecTerra in October, 2005, [please see BEA Acquires Pioneering Provider of RFID Infrastructure Software; Extends Infrastructure Offering to the Edge, 10/11/05] the BEA WebLogic RFID product family is a complete, standards-based, software infrastructure platform designed to help companies develop, deploy and manage RFID-enabled business processes for asset tracking and supply chain optimization. Targeting the logistics, retail, manufacturing, consumer packaged goods, transportation, pharmaceutical and other industries, these products are designed to help address key business challenges and help deliver significant benefits including: higher profits through optimized asset inventory; improved public safety through targeted product recalls and reduced product counterfeiting; increased revenue by reducing out-of-stocks; improved margin through reduced product diversions; and reduced spoilage and obsolescence by monitoring expiry date, temperature, and humidity for every product in the supply chain.
The BEA WebLogic RFID product family is comprised of three products: BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Server(TM), BEA WebLogic Enterprise Server(TM) and BEA WebLogic Compliance Express(TM).
o BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Server is designed to provide broad device support, robust data filtering and aggregation, extensive RFID infrastructure monitoring and management, and seamless integration with existing platforms.
o BEA WebLogic RFID Enterprise Server is designed to help central management of RFID data collected at the "edge" of an enterprise. It can allow business partners an unprecedented view into product movement data, and can help enable the central provisioning of RFID data in distributed tagging operations. The RFID Enterprise Server is a critical piece of software infrastructure designed for rapidly achieving ROI from RFID data collected at the edge.
o BEA WebLogic RFID Compliance Express is designed to be a low risk, cost-effective solution for ensuring RFID compliance. It can help companies address compliance challenges, while establishing a foundation for larger-scale deployments that may include a mix of Tag-at-Ship, Tag-at-Pick, Tag-at-Source, and other related EPC-based bsiness processes.
The combination of the BEA WebLogic RFID product family, coupled with BEA's Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-driven WebLogic® and AquaLogic(TM) technologies and additional partner offerings, can help enable businesses to leverage enterprise assets from the network edge back to the data center with reliability, availability, scalability and performance at all levels.
The demonstrations at RFID World 2006 are scheduled to show how using BEA WebLogic RFID Compliance Express can help enable companies to meet RFID product tagging requirements to satisfy retail and/or Government compliance. Additionally, there is scheduled to be a demonstration of AquaLogic(TM) High Performance (HiPer) Workspace for Retail, a closed-loop notification and task management product designed for improving store operations, built with technology from the AquaLogic(TM) User Interaction product family. Deployed along with BEA WebLogic RFID products, the two technologies illustrate an innovative end-to-end retail product that is designed to integrate the supply chain through to the store floor.
