Companies in many industries are exploring the benefits of using
radio frequency identification (RFID) and other automatic data
collection and sensor technologies to address a host of business
issues. In healthcare, manufacturing, retail, logistics and other
industries, applications that streamline processes or offer greater
visibility and control of business assets allow companies to realize
increased productivity and competitive advantage.
RFID Anywhere simplifies the development, deployment, configuration and
management tasks for highly distributed, multi-site, intelligent sensor
networks, and abstracts the interaction with the physical network of
devices. By exposing the raw data from sensors in an event-driven
architecture and providing a powerful service-oriented architecture
layer, developers and integrators can focus on writing business logic,
not low-level hardware interfaces. RFID Anywhere supports a broad array
of hardware, standards and development models, and can be deployed to
the edge of the network, reducing the flow of data across the network
and enabling real-time reactions to important RFID, location and sensor
events.

- Case Study: Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group
For its annual employee summit, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group (DTG)
wanted an automated solution to efficiently track attendees. EDS
quickly adapted a supply chain management technology using Sybase RFID
for this new application. DTG used the solution to determine the
summit’s most popular events and make the next summit more efficient.
