For this area of application, Dematic supplies RFID antenna gates accompanied by the necessary software infrastructure, including integration into ERP systems - ideally with the Dematic software suite. This includes the Asset Tracking Server as a stand-alone solution for the management of RTI inventories, as well as its possible integration into the Dematic Warehouse Control System for controlling high-bay warehouses and their transport systems, and the Dematic Material Flow Control for monitoring the flow of goods and warehouse inventories. Hans Christoph Dönges, head of the Logistics IT Competence Center at Dematic, said: "With the completion of standardization in the UHF waveband Gen2, RFID now has a very wide field of application in front of it. We have a perfected technology, and high quality, reliable products available. Even if the cost-effectiveness of the identification process in open systems is not yet completely unproblematic, because of the long life of the RFID tags, in closed RTI systems we can certainly reach a return on investment within a 12 to 18 month investment cycle." Dematic is presenting the new RFID Gate for the first time in action at the "LogIDSquare", the joint exhibition booth of Dematic, FLog (Dortmund University), Gedas, Oracle and Sun. Other highlights on show at the LogIDSquare are typical uses of RFID, exemplified there by the automotive industry, from order-picking at the supplier through to storage on the customer's premises.
