Send variable data from SQL to embed data into RFID tags

BizTalk Server RFID pick-up & ship integrated with Dynamics GP to share real-time data with Boeing

Produced and managed standard EDI documents --Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) 850, 856, needed to trade successfully with large supply chain partners like Boeing

Needed to track inventories in real-time

Needed warehouse system validation for item, lot and serial numbers and quantities

Lacked real-time visibility into it production processes

Needed to comply with Just-In-Time (JIT) initiatives from larger partners like Boeing

“We can watch Boeing’s back and it can watch ours, because we’ll have visibility into Boeing’s consumption of our product. We can then match

our production line and inventory associated with it.”

Dan Hedger, President Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing

Overall production cycle time cut in half

35% reduction in time required to fabricate an assembly

71% reduction in the production to shipment cycle time

Cut more than $120,000 in real estate costs

Eliminated need for a third-party value-added network

Established a corporate risk mitigation strategy to protect corporate and consumer

Greatly curtailed asset loss and ensured end of life assets were destroyed

Improved employee awareness and automated the tracking of laptops leaving a facility

Lowered corporate risk profile

Developed special use passive RFID tags to place on all hard drives and laptops

Installed special use readers at various entry / exit choke points

Deployed XAM – Asset Management solution to track the lifecycle of the corporate assets

Automated Hard Drive Refurbishing and Destruction Processes

Thousands of IT hard drive assets containing highly sensitive customer and corporate information

Inefficient means of tracking Laptop Assets with sensitive data.

Inability to ensure end of life drives were properly destroyed created

5 high profile breeches in 2 years, consumer outrage

“Slips of paper and unwanted equipment that people throw away should not hold the keys to

their savings and financial secrets…“ President George Bush as he signed a new law intended to

protect Americans from identity theft

Sped valve inspections up to 15 percent

Improved data accuracy

Increased office productivity 5–15 percent

Provided for future innovation

Engaged IDBLUE to deploy an automated valve- inspection solution built with Microsoft® BizTalk® RFID Mobile and the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework

Issued Windows Mobile® devices to employees

Streamline onshore and offshore valve inspections

Facilitate data analysis and the exchange of information for employees and customers

Minimize manual data entry

Engineering firm uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to automate inspections

“Our maintenance and quality control personnel find that the solution built on BizTalk RFID Mobile has accelerated

inspections by 5 to 15 percent.”Andrew Stephen, Works Manager, Score Group plc
