"Sweet" Success for Loftware and Oracle User in RFID Pilot

Great news from just yesterday... from this press release issued out of Redwood Shores, California, you can see that the Loftware LPS along with Oracle helped a major cookie maker (consumer packaged goods if you want to get technical about it with me) finish an RFID pilot ahead of schedule and in advance of expected future mandates.

Compania de Galletas Noel S.A. (Noel SA), one of the largest consumer packaged goods companies in South America, successfully completed a radio frequency identification (RFID) technology pilot using the Oracle® E-Business Suite and Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle... today announced. The century-old company implemented the RFID pilot in anticipation of technology mandates from customers such as Wal-Mart and to understand how RFID data could be used to improve its logistics operations.

And, of course, we were right there, too...

GS1 Colombia led the implementation and Tyco Fire and Security provided the Sensormatic RFID readers, antennas, site survey and physical design. The reliability and performance of Tyco's hardware was one of the key factors that enabled the project's highly successful read rates. Loftware provided the print server. Paxar Corporation, a global leader in providing innovative merchandising systems for the retail and apparel industry, extended Noel SA's Oracle-based solution by supplying the tags, printer from Monarch and RFID tags from Alien Technology.

Geesh-- they could have said a few more words... after all... no Loftware and the last mile of this whole thing never gets traversed. But it's good to be included; nice to get a mention; and a delight to know our solution suits some of the biggest international companies on planet Earth.
