RFID Lab
Develops New Biztalk RFID Provider For Motorola Mobile RFID Reader
Wavetrend
June 11, 2009
With more and more organizations inquiring about the benefits of
RFID technology and beginning to understand how vertical
applications can provide more immediate ROI, Academia RFID Centre of
Excellence's Technical Expertise and Software Team (TESTeam) have
developed, tested and implemented a Microsoft BizTalk 2006 R2
Provider that allows for easy integration of the Motorola RD5000
Mobile RFID Reader. |

Working with a group of
RFID software developers, system engineers and interested end-users
in the Academia RFID Applications Development Lab, the TESTeam set
out to develop a provider component and mobile server component to
interface between the pallet-jack and forklift-mounted mobile RFID
reader and BizTalk RFID, enabling RFID tag data transmissions. A
second version supports inputs from the reader's built in
accelerometer and proximity sensor.
"With the flow of people coming in and out of our Centre and
inquiring about cost-efficient applications, whether during training
sessions or with their solution/equipment testing mandates, it
became obvious that we needed to demo mobile solutions that could
showcase the potential opportunities of warehouse management
solutions using wireless RFID devices as an alternative to a fixed
RFID infrastructure," said Amninder Randhawa, Technical Director of
the Academia RFID TESTeam.
"Having worked extensively with Microsoft BizTalk RFID 2006 Server,
we knew that a BizTalk interface for the RD5000 was essential and as
of yet, not readily available on the market. We took the opportunity
to build our own; which also helped us to dive further into the
BizTalk layers and develop an even more profound expertise with the
RFID middleware," said Michel Comeau, a senior software specialist
and part of the Academia RFID TESTeam.
