Tatung Uses Shipcom Wireless
for EPC/RFID Integration With Its ERP System
HOUSTON, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire
Shipcom Wireless Inc., a leading global provider of RFID solutions
and Tatung Company of America, Inc. announced today that they have
successfully shipped out cases tagged with RFID/EPC labels to
meet its Wal-Mart mandate, using the CATAMARAN product of Shipcom
Wireless. One of the top personal computer and related products
suppliers of Wal-Mart is requiring that its contract manufacturers
apply RFID tags on all cases being shipped to Wal-Mart.
This project is an end-to-end example of using RFID in the supply
chain. Each case at Tatung is labeled with an EPC tag containing
the product information. The cases are put on pallets, which in
turn are EPC tagged, and commissioned. This data is then supplied
to Wal-Mart.
This project, started early in the year, has many unique features:
first is the quick integration that CATAMARAN (R), Shipcom's RFID
edge server, allows to Tatung's enterprise system; second, is the
switch to the use of 96-bit tags from 64-bit tags after the project
started; and finally, the aggressive timeline that was required
to meet the mandate.
"Shipcom really understood the EPC/RFID requirements and Tatung's
ERP integration. The Shipcom team was able to meet the rigorous
timeline, and work with the Tatung team to meet all our challenges,"
said Chris Chu, Director of Information Technology at Tatung. Tatung
has expanded the use of the RFID case tagging process from one site
to two sites with multi-production
lines.
According to Abeezar Tyebji, CEO of Shipcom Wireless, "In the
Tatung implementation, we again proved the speed, flexibility and
adaptability of the Shipcom CATAMARAN(R) EPC/RFID solution. We not
only met the Wal-Mart mandate in record time, but also had a very
robust interface developed to Tatung's ERP system. We thus created
an end-to-end EPC/RFID solution that includes best practices for
improving manufacturing and SCM processes. These process improvements
result in better business decisions, often resulting in cost savings
and increased profits." About Shipcom
