On the Utilization and Integration of RFID Data Into Enterprise Information Systems Via WinRFID

It is challengeable to utilize and integrate RFID data into current Enterprise Information Systems because high volume of RFID data is captured at high speed and the data are in heterogeneous formats. In this paper, we propose a “store and forward” and subscription-based integration approach in WinRFID Data Collector to solve the challenges. The Data Collector is a middleware which processes and delivers data to end application based on rules defined in subscription conditions. “Event Cycle” based data reporting defined in EPCglobal Application Level Event specification is analyzed. WinRFID subscription is proposed to provide real-time event notification. The data processing and integration capability of the Data Collector is measured and analyzed.
