Shadowfax™ - Enterprise RFID Middleware
RFIDlogic's involvement in integrating RFID solutions into supply chains and
manufacturing environments has manifested itself into a sophisticated, scalable
software middleware specifically designed to support enterprise RFID
applications.
Shadowfax™ is a multi-tiered, platform-neutral distributed
middleware platform, which enables easy and seamless integration between a
variety of RFID hardware and any legacy IT infrastructure. The core of our
enterprise middleware is an intelligent Complex Event Processing (CEP) engine.
The CEP engine is responsible of detecting RFID-based events occurring
throughout the supply chain and translating them into meaningful business
events.
After scoping out all the specific business processes, we define a set of event
mapping rules. Business events are relayed to business specific event handlers,
which are either reused from our constantly growing repository of existing
event handlers or by developing custom event handlers based on customer
specific requirements.
Currently, our RFID middleware can interchange data with target enterprise systems using the following interfaces:
- SQL/JDBC/JDO/ODBC/DAO
- SAP JCO
- XML
- CSV flat files
As part of out integration services, we will tailor any necessary interfaces to a customer's specific enterprise application.
