The Savants then forward data to the ERP systems, including SCM and Supply Relationship Management (SRM), virtualized databases, and SAP via middleware technologies through a full-time connection to the readers, or synchronizing data on an “as needed” basis. The Savant’s real-time in memory database (RIED) structure is used to store event information, support SQL queries, and take “snapshots” of the database at different times. Savant software works with Windows 9X, NE, NT, 2000, and XP and can be downloaded at no cost from Savant Web Server’s Web site at http://savant.sourceforge.net/. The original version of this software running on distributed servers was designed by the Auto-ID Center for its EPC
26 � RFID in the Supply Chain: A Guide to Selection and Implementation network infrastructure. For the software to work properly, the Internet Information Services (IIS), at least, must be turned off. The Savant server can be customized to receive all the different data communications among readers, RS232, RS485, TCP/IP, and Ethernet. You can connect mini-servers to communicate with the main Savant server or mini- Savants. These mini-servers can convert all data signals to an Ethernet that has the ability to multiplex 900 readers or more—passive and active—at a time. The time elapsing between the client request and the server response is extremely fast and can serve over 100 simultaneous connections. These two features allow a reader to scan multiple tags at one time in a second or two. Sun’s version of Savant is available for managing the flow of RFID information between the readers of RFID tags and the back-end enterprise system. It contains reader failover features to allow the RFID information to continue to flow to its intended destination. Resource [7] gives details on Sun’s EPC Networking Architecture. ConnecTerra is another company that offers a middleware RFTagAware 1.0, the first version of its EPC Savant and reader management software. This software provides an Application Programming Interface (API) for data filtering and integration in various formats with enterprise software. RFTagAware also monitors the health of remote readers, upgrades software, runs diagnostics, and performs other maintenance operations. 1.4.2 Major Vendor Servers When a Savant server reaches its disk capacity limit, the organization needs to consider RFID servers from major vendors, such as IBM, Oracle, and MS SQL Server. Some issues to be considered are whether the organization should treat RFID technology as one of the sensor-based services or it should focus on a RFID database middleware that collects and interprets RFID events and escalates them to critical operational events or both. Oracle and IBM are examples of each, respectively. Oracle Sensor-Based Services [8], an RFID-ready Oracle Warehouse Management was demonstrated at the RFID Journal Live! Conference in late March 2004. Based on Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Application Server 10g, Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g, and Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, Oracle Sensor-Based Services enable companies to integrate sensor-based information into their enterprise systems to achieve supply chain visibility in real-time. Making up the Sensor-Based Services are primarily two middleware components: the Compliance Package and RFID Pilot Kit. The Compliance component allows companies to address the specific and unique reporting requirements coming down from major retailers and the U.S. Department of Defense. The Pilot Kit is more suited for smaller companies that only
