The Sun Java System RFID Software Leverages Jini Technology for Networking at the Edge

Overview The challenge was to create RFID solutions that run and scale effectively in distribution centers, where change and failures are frequent, and systems administrators are not available. The solution was Jini technology provides self-healing capabilities needed to deliver high availability in a network edge environment. Jini services are updated and reprovisioned automatically, without system interruption or on-site technical assistance. Jini technology enables dramatic scaling with only a minimal administrator effort, both in deployment and ongoing management. Sun Java System RFID Software helps businesses improve asset visibility and ensure product safety and integrity across the supply chain by enabling real-time asset tracking.
