ODIN technologies says it worked with John Deere to plan, design and deploy a complete RFID work-in-process solution in four weeks. The solution uses UHF passive RFID to track reusable totes and high-value engine parts for the Deere internal supply chain. ODIN led the testing, hardware and middleware selection, solution design and deployment, providing a single point of project management and complete custom RFID network architecture. ODIN technologies worked side-by-side with internal John Deere staff to deploy the portals, handhelds, printers and middleware at facilities in Waterloo, Iowa and Fargo, N.D. "We wanted to prove that RFID is a viable technology that can benefit our business," says Jim Harl, manager, supply management e-business. "ODIN understands the nuances of RFID and surrounding technologies. The commitment of their team delivered the results we were after." More information can be found at www.odintechnologies.com.
