WebSphere Premises Server AGENT -
Enterprise Platform |
|
Essen's Xtenna™ range of RFID devices can be easily controlled through the IBM WebSphere Premises Server enterprise middleware platform. Essen RFID offers enterprise-wide seamless end-to-end connectivity through *free-license software components that connect and communicate between Xtenna™ RFID hardware, WebSphere Premises Server middleware and the application layer. By enabling connectivity between the RFID device and the middleware on the one hand, and between the middleware and databases/applications on the other, Essen RFID brings all the advantages, benefits and savings of Xtenna™ to existing large-scale deployments such as Warehouse Management, Personnel Tracking, Inventory Management, Shelf Life Optimization, Cold Chain Monitoring, etc.
Essen RFID’s *free-license components for middleware platform connectivity with existing IBM WebSphere Premises Server enterprise middleware platforms, consist of WebSphere Premises Server - AGENT as well as a Database CONNECTOR and SAP CONNECTOR to communicate with databases and ERP applications, and connect the middleware platform to these enterprise systems. Thereby ensuring seamless end-to-end connectivity between Xtenna™ RFID and existing deployments of WebSphere Premises Server middleware and databases/applications, through a single value-enhancing solution. |

Connecting Xtenna™ hardware devices to IBM WebSphere Premises Server, is Essen RFID’s WebSphere Premises Server - AGENT. Acting as a device driver, the Agent manages and integrates Xtenna™ with the enterprise application layer through the WebSphere Premises Server, in a seamless, simplified process.
The Essen Agent is a Java based application, allowing it to be also hosted on Linux platforms, alongside platforms based on standard Windows Server editions.
Completing the integration process, Essen RFID also offers Connectors that communicate between IBM WebSphere Premises Server and the application layer consisting of databases and ERP applications such as SAP v4.7/v6.0.
Essen DB CONNECTOR exports data to various legacy databases such as Oracle (9i, 10g, 11g), IBM DB2, MS SQL Server v. 2000/2005/2008/Express, as well as open source databases such as MySQL 5.0.
Essen SAP CONNECTOR exports data in PML format to SAP’s Auto ID Infrastructure.
Databases and applications can therefore process data easily by leaving functions such as data fetching and Xtenna™ device control entirely to the Connector. |
