Ushering in the big switch to RFID 2.0, the RTVS™ way

The industry first RTVS™ solution platform is a service-oriented 3 tier approach to deploying a new genre of scalable RFID applications within and across the enterprise, with Software + Services on device, edge, and cloud to harness operational visibility in real time in your business processes.

S3Edge’s unique On-Premise, On-Device, and On-Demand architecture utilizes the RFID capabilities in BizTalk Server to deploy Real Time Visibility System [RTVS™] for Work in Process (WiP), Warehouse Visibility, High-Value Asset Tracking, and Product Recalls solutions.

Key features:
  1. Enterprise 3.0 services - physical world workflow suite, software appliance, and mobility applications - to consume and act on operational data from the real world
  2. Flexible deployment model for solutions [‘On-Device’, ‘On-Premise’, and ‘On-Demand] based on application needs vs. IT infrastructure needs
  3. Delivered as configurable Real Time Visibility Systems for vertical applications on best-of breed hardware platforms

By utilizing S3’s unique approach to rollout scalable, turnkey solutions for real time operational visibility customers can gain the following benefits:

  1. Customizable framework to design, implement, deploy and execute declarative ‘Physical World’ workflows
  2. Upto 50% reduction in custom code for real time processes
  3. Upto 75% reduction in time to market for delivering new value added services with a cookie-cutter approach

All brought to you by trusted industry veterans who brought you the Industry leading ‘RFID for Everyone’ Microsoft BizTalk RFID infrastructure.

How it Works

Write Once, Deploy Anywhere
A large part of scenarios looking to utilize RFID or sensor data for operation visibility require real-time tracking and human workflow automation requirements. Examples of these include source tagging, location sensitive put a way, build to order job assignment, bill of materials picking, job tracking, shipment tracking etc., and these scenarios almost always encompass data from Line-of-Business (LoB) systems and actions on devices (fixed and mobile).

To address these scenarios effectively, the RTVS™ solution platform natively exposes the concept of a ‘Physical World’ workflows which are customizable based on the requirements of the solution.

A typical ‘Physical World’ workflow brings together the following concepts:

What: Data entry / RFID / Barcode / Sensor scan

Where: Location

Who: User

When: Time

Business Context: LoB systems such as a WMS system

And the RTVS TM platform provides a model to:

Design

  • Author model visually in a workflow designer
  • Configure design time settings
  • Generate the runtime representation of model

Implement

  • Create the device activities
  • Create the desktop (software appliance) activities

Deploy

  • Deploy executables to desktop, device
  • Deploy workflow

Execute

  • Assign workflow steps to humans utilizing handhelds or fixed readers
  • Manage, monitor, control, improve
