11. BizTalk RFID in the Real World iGPS - 2nd Largest RFID implementation in North America, Plastic pallets contain RFID tags, Prevents losses and theft, Optimizes pallet use, Enables accurate invoicing, Eases inventory management
Blue C Sushi - Sushi restaurant in Seattle, RFID tag sushi plates, Chefs know whats on a plate, how long its been on the belt, and exactly when it is taken off, Improves inventory & quality, Chefs receive alerts to make more of certain type of sushi
Tekho Company Ltd. -The An Pin Live Fish S/T Center, working with the Southern Innovation Center of the Institute for Industry and Information in Taiwan has developed a system using Microsoft BizTalk RFID to trace the farming, transport, quality and end usage of live fish for the food service industry. This system includes development of a database for tracking information, such as water temperature, amount of feed, type of feed, water quality and farm lot location for each individual fish. When the fish are trapped live for shipment to restaurants, they are individually tagged with RFID tags which are correlated to the database information. When the fish is later selected for consumption and captured at the restaurant the tamperproof RFID tag is scanned so that the fish history is available to the consumer.
CHEP (Commonwealth Handling Equipment Pool) CHEP, the largest pallet and container leasing company in the world, has adopted BizTalk RFID in their distribution centers worldwide to more quickly and accurately track their assets. The new process not only provides customers with more accurate billing information but also enables

50. Case Study: Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing

52. KMM: How it Works Receive Sales order from Exostar network used by Boeing and others to deliver orders to suppliers
BizTalk received the order and transformed the order into something consumable by Great Plains(ERP used by Killdeer)
GP integration was done by e-Connect.
Once order is received a manufacturing order was created in GP and Picking list was printed. This included printed RFID label using Avery(Paxar) equipment. I am sure Jeanne helped a lot on this front.
After this the Picking list along with RFID tag travelled through he whole manufacturing processes. At various points we had Alien portals to read the tags and track all the points where processing was happening.
All this information was shared through Share Point portal.
At the end final shipment was tracked and information was updated in Share Point Portal.
Currently the information is internal to Killdeer but next phase will allow Boeing to receive this information and integrated into their Sharepoint portal to track information from all the suppliers.
Value of BizTalk:
The glue binding all of these systems together is Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2. KMM and RFID SCOUT rely on BizTalk RFID Infrastructure to gather, filter, and clean RFID data from edge devices, such as handheld readers. In addition, KMM uses BizTalk Server for Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) alerts. BizTalk enables the overall system to provide more accurate and timely predictive analytics, triggers, and business alerts, all of which are generated from BizTalk Server.
The alerts are especially important in a just-in-time environment. The BizTalk Server 2006 R2 RFID Infrastructure, together with BAM alerts, notifies KMM if the company reaches an out-of-limit or out-of-sync condition on the shop floor, allowing appropriate actions to be taken immediately.
BizTalk Server will also be used to generate an RFID shipping compliance alert to Boeing, through an EDI 856 ASN notification. Using the BizTalk native RFID Infrastructure, management tools, and application services for device/tag interaction, Microsoft Dynamics GP users effectively have a large-enterprise RFID solution in a box.
HARDWARE
One of the goals of the RFID SCOUT project is to develop a solution that is not vendor specific. Microsoft Biztalk R2 RFID Infrastructure was chosen with this vendor neutrality in mind so SMEs who use the RFID SCOUT toolkit will not be constrained to the vendors who developed the toolkit.
For this phase of the project, the following hardware is currently being deployed. All hardware used for the RFID SCOUT project will be required to be compatible with the Microsoft Biztalk R2 RFID Infrastructure.
Label Printers
Handheld bar code / RFID reader
RFID Readers & Antennas
Wireless Mobile RFID Carts
RFID Smart Labels
LABEL PRINTERS
The Monarch M09855RFMPE label printer manufactured by Paxar will be used for printing labels. The Monarch M09855RFMPE can be used to not only print standard bar code labels; it can also be used to encode RFID smart labels. Theses RFID smart labels will be a critical component in using RFID to further automate KMMs processes.
Because not all labels produced will require the extra cost of a RFID tag, each location that will be instrumented to produce RFID smart labels will also have a label printer that is not loaded with RFID smart labels. The system being developed will automatically feed the label to be printed to the correct label printer. In this manner there is no need for the operator to select the correct printer or swap out the more expensive RFID labels for standard bar-code labels.
Paxars innovative Monarch M09855RFMPE printer/encoder offers the latest in GEN 2, multi-protocol encoding capabilities.
Handheld Bar Code/RFID Reader
Three Symbol MC9090 RFID enabled handheld terminals supplied by Maximum Data provide mobile computing for the implementation. The RFID Readers will allow users to read RFID smart tags using a mobile handheld device. The devices will offer an integrated antenna with good drop-to-concrete characteristics, both integrated bar code and RFID capabilities, wireless local area networking (LAN) and sound ergonomics. The MC9090 Multi-protocol readers can read EPC Gen 1 and Gen 2 RFID tags. The MC9090 Readers with dense-reader mode (DRM) allow a large number of readers to concurrently communicate without interfering with each others signals.
RFID Readers & Antennas
The Alien Technology ALR-9800 multi-protocol Gen2 RFID readers will be used in this phase for work in process tracking as well as for taking inventory of RFID labeled inventory items.
The ALR-9800 is a new-generation reader ideal for efficient implementation of RFID on a small or large scale with high level performance, lower initial and ongoing costs, and accelerated return-on-investment (ROI).
Wireless Mobile RFID Carts
Paxar developed mobile wireless carts will be outfitted with RFID readers to showcase the benefits of mobile RFID in situations such as KMMs regularly changing manufacturing layout as well as the benefits of a mobile inventory station.
