PrimeSource Building Products

Prior to contacting Pragmatyxs, PrimeSource's internal order verification process relied exclusively on a manual process. Unfortunately, this meant the process was labor intensive and error prone. Pragmatyxs developed a material tracking solution to quickly and effective meet PrimeSource's compliance requirements.

IF61 Enterprise Reader

In order for RFID readers to do more than simply read and act as a data conduit, they need processing speed and ample memory. With the powerful combination of an Intel Celeron M 600MHz processor and up to 1 GB of optional memory, the Intermec™ IF61 Enterprise Reader is the smartest RFID reader available, capable of running complex RFID applications, delivering faster processing and localized intelligence.

When the host system or electrical power fails, the ample storage resources, and “store and forward” capabilities of the IF61 ensure that data won’t be lost, even in the highest tag volume environments. In fact, with the optional spinning drive installed, the IF61 can store over 6 billion EPC tags. When applications are mission critical and “re-work” isn’t an option, the IF61 can be counted on.

The IF61 is a Smart RFID Reader capable of embedding enterprise-class edge server software in lieu of requiring an on-premise PC. Advanced network services built into the IF61 greatly facilitates enterprise architects in configuring a highly secure, scalable, and reliable RFID infrastructure. The IF61 is the only RFID reader to provide a localized workbench to load, edit and run JavaScript as a standard feature. The workbench allows programmers to test business logic directly on the reader, enabling faster application development while utilizing fewer resources.

SmartSystem™ Foundation, standard on the IF61, provides a single, convenient console for quick set-up and configuration of all of the settings contained in the device. Administrators can change device settings, send firmware upgrades, update software applications, and execute other changes directly from the console to save time and significantly cut costs.

Rich Mobile and Wireless Applications: Usability and Performance Without the Headache
On the desktop we have seen the migration from "green screen" business applications to client-server and now a hybrid of the two — browser-based interfaces. In large mission-critical business deployments these server centric solutions have been favored by the short-handed IT departments that support them. The attraction of central management is often justified over the lesser user experience. In the wireless real-time handheld computer space we have seen a similar move from character-based telnet applications to browser applications. Telnet applications are still prevalent, but the growth of smarter handheld computers and abundant access to web developers has led to more and more browser deployments. Though the user is given a more graphical interface it can be at the cost of performance and functionality. How can businesses deliver rich solutions and not break the bank supporting them?(Read more...).
