14 Basic Facts on SAP Solutions for RFID 4.0 Release SAP Solutions for RFID 4.0 is a complete RFID Platform Technology Stack includes SAP SCM SAP Event Management SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence Auto-ID Infrastructure 4.0 Integration to mysap ERP solution (via SAP NetWeaver XI) Can operate as standalone Stand-alone RFID enabled Processes RFID-Enabled Slap and Ship Outbound Processing RFID-Enabled RTI (Returnable Transport Items) Processing with direct SAP AII 4.0 integration into SAP Event Management Integrated RFID enabled Processes possible with SAP AII 4.0 RFID enabled Outbound Processing Optional: SAP BI and SAP Event Management Integration RFID enabled Inbound Processing Integrated RFID enabled Outbound & Inbound Processing Optional: SAP BI and SAP Event Management Integration Additional components available for Railcar Tracking and RFID enabled Maintance and Repair SAP AG 2006, SAP RFID Solutions SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure 4.0 / 14

15 Technology New Functions / Functional Enhancements New RFID Stock Counting and Clearance in AII 4.0 New: Customizable EPC/Id Hierarchies New: Support for Additional Encoding Schemes New: User Data and Data on Tag Functional Enhancements Technology and Usability Enhancements Business Analytics Event Management

16 New: RFID Stock Counting and Clearance in AII 4.0 Stock Counting Ability to count EPCs within a location Scan of Location The RFID mobile reader scans multiple RFID tags in a specific location and gets their corresponding EPCs. Compares AII compares these EPCs with the EPCs existing in the AII object table. Clearance The user can reconcile differences from the expected object table against the actual objects read. SAP AG 2006, SAP RFID Solutions SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure 4.0 / 16

17 New: Customizable EPC/ID Hierarchies Customizable EPC/ID Hierarchies Creation of the EPC/ID hierarchy through customizable filter values Users can decide how to use filter values to identify different pack levels. Enables flexibility in assigning filter values and hierarchical relationships such as item, case, pallet Hierarchy can be customized for any pack relationship. SAP AG 2006, SAP RFID Solutions SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure 4.0 / 17

18 New: Support for Additional Encoding Schemes Support for Additional Encoding Schemes Supports additional EPC encoding schemes for DoD construct, GRAI, GIAI Supports User-Definable encoding schemes possible to construct encoding schemes using other standard constructs Data on Tag for free form tag values to be on the tags such as mfg/expiration dates, mfg. location, warranty information, etc.... SAP AG 2006, SAP RFID Solutions SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure 4.0 / 18

19 New: User Data and Data on Tag User Data and Data on Tag SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure supports both, the writing and reading of additional data on tags beyond the tag ID as well as the ability to link EPC IDs to associated user data. Data on Tag are additional data that are written or read from tags and reside on a tag. Inputs of tag data may emanate from: user data, documents context, or fields calculated by activities during run-time, other external sources. User data is a system of record held in the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure (AII) User data is stored within the object context, for instance data maintained in AII relating to a specific EPC, in AII. Input of User data may follow the read of data on tag, entries by users from UIs, fields calculated by activities during run-time or imported from a Device controller with help of a PML. In AII, user data and the observations of data on tag (the values of tag data at each read / write point) are stored as object and action object context, respectively. In AII, activities (DEVICE_PRINT_TAG) determine what fields (and their values) are to be printed on a RFID label. The same logic will be applied for writing data on RFID tags. SAP AG 2006, SAP RFID Solutions SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure 4.0 / 19

20 Functional Enhancements Automatic Document Assignment The document ID is known from the fixed reader device controller. The document number comes from the backend system The EPC was observed in the previous transaction by Aii and there was a document associated with the last transaction. Improved UNDO activities Ability to remove individual EPC instead of the undoing the entire PACK action. For example, remove individual cartons instead of undoing the whole pallet. Allow UNDO of an Action which is not the last Action. For example, PACK MOVE and then UNDO PACK Event Handlers Created by the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure Event Management and AII are only required for RFID scenario Direct integration to SAP Event Management from the Auto-ID Infrastructure SAP AG 2006, SAP RFID Solutions SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure 4.0 / 20

21 Technology and Usability Improvements Number Range Management Number ranges can be distributed to multiple device controllers for each AII. Device Management Support Support for the ALE protocol (EPCglobal) and SAP Web Services. Creation of the Common Subscription Data Model (CSDM). Enable match of non-sgtin EPCs to product Supports SAP R/3 4.6c, 4.7 EE 2.0, ERP 2004, ERP 2005 WebDynPro component re-architecture Ability to place individual transactions into the Portal Each transaction has its own URL. Mobile Usability Enhancements Supports Decommissioning Supports Un-tagged contents can PACK items with reference to attributes. Test Tool Improved usability for testing and implementation.
