IBM Unveils WebSphere RFID Premises Server 6.0

IBM, (www.ibm.com) unveils WebSphere RFID Premises Server 6.0, RFID software that unlocks business insight from the information explosion created by RFID tags embedded throughout the supply chain. Sensors can monitor and record conditions like temperature, humidity, pressure, wind direction and speed, illumination intensity, vibration intensity, sound intensity, power-line voltage, chemical concentrations, pollutant levels, and vital body functions. Actuators can send and receive real-time data from the sensors – sometimes thousands of them – to learn about remote conditions and locations. 

The new WebSphere RFID Premises Server 6.0 aggregates and analyzes massive amounts of RFID and other sensor information from every corner of an enterprise. It then applies built-in business logic; and leveraging a Services Oriented Architecture, integrates that valuable raw data with enterprise applications, such as ERP or billing systems. This open architecture means that data can be seamlessly connected with business processes, allowing companies to use and capitalize on RFID. Using the new IBM software, companies can now use valuable data from remote locations to create and manage RFID solutions based on real business scenarios, drive new revenue streams and drive out costs.
