Loftware RFID Technology Overview  

The 'Next Generation' of RFID Support
Version 8.4 of the Loftware Print Server RFID technology reflects the lessons learned during our 04' and 05' pilot programs with our customers. A major new innovation is the ability to drive RFID readers. One system can now drive your network of barcode and ‘Smart Label’ printers while also providing the necessary tools for building robust reader applications.

Loftware follows the standards set forth by EPCglobal®, which is a joint venture between EAN International and the Uniform Code Council (UCC). They create the global standards which are necessary for tracking goods through the supply chain using RFID tags as opposed to barcodes. Although familiarity of the EPC tag specifications is encouraged, specific knowledge is not needed as EPC intricacies are handled automatically. Loftware is an active member of the EPCglobal community and will continue to refine our software as new standards and specifications emerge.

Smart Label Support
Version 8.4 is our third release that supports Smart Label RFID Printing. Companies with immediate needs based on internal, retail, or DOD compliance mandates can start producing and encoding RFID labels and go right into production fairly quickly. The intuitive graphical user interface and extensive documentation combine to accelerate system design, even for those with limited knowledge of RFID technology. Users can start from scratch or convert existing bar code labels.

Reader Support
New for 8.4 is support for RFID reader hardware from Alien, Symbol, AWID, and ThingMagic. This support comes in the form of a .NET programming interface (API) which provides a common language for the readers regardless of the hardware and tags being used. We refer to this interface along with all of its associated tools as the RFID Reader Module (RRM).   Common use cases for the RRM include Smart Label Verification, Pallet Build, and Pallet Receive.

The RRM also comes with a powerful Reader Simulator. This allows an implementation team to create, test, and troubleshoot their reader solutions without recreating a production environment.  Development work can even begin before deciding which RFID reader vendor to use.  This could knock weeks or even months off an implementation project.
