noFilis CrossTalk 2.0 as device management solution — Experiences while integrating RFID hardware into SAP Auto-ID infrastructure

Intelligent objects, results of the modern RFID technology, tend to be used extensively in business contexts to improve processes like goods receipt, goods issue, logistical tracking of returnable transport items, and kanban. Those RFID-enabled processes need large support from existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Therefore this paper evaluates software systems which helps integrating RFID technology into existing ERP systems. To this end, we use an exemplary kanban scenario to show how the device management software noFilis CrossTalk fits into common middleware like the SAP Auto-ID infrastructure. Finally we evaluate noFilis CrossTalk and give a short outlook.
