TraceGuard will be Deployed to Meet Retail Compliance Requirements
Boston - January 20, 2005
GenuOne, the leading provider of product tracking software for
visibility management today announced that it has been selected by C.H.
Robinson, one of North America's largest third-party logistics
companies, to deploy its TraceGuard RFID Infrastructure software for
one of its supplier pilot projects. TraceGuard will enable EPC
commissioning, case and pallet tagging and integration with trading
partners. In the longer term, TraceGuard's scalable track and trace
infrastructure is being evaluated as a potential solution for other
C.H. Robinson's suppliers to promote further compliance and supply
chain efficiencies.
The TraceGuard Infrastructure is a distributed, scalable
platform designed to accomplish real-time data collection and
processing. TraceGuard's capabilities include device and reader
management, data management, rules/event management and data
persistence. It is device agnostic and supports a heterogeneous
environment of RFID technologies, smart barcodes and interfaces with
leading hardware vendors.
"We needed a product that could be rapidly deployed in the
short term, and then scalable for future roll out to additional
suppliers in the near future," said Jim Lemke, vice president, C.H.
Robinson. "We were impressed with TraceGuard's rapid deployment
ability, architecture and GenuOne's domain experience."
TraceGuard is a robust solution that can work across the many,
disparate locations of C.H. Robinson's suppliers, carriers and
retailers to provide a lower total cost of ownership. Furthermore, it
lays the foundation to address supply chain safety and product
integrity issues.
"As mandate deadlines are rapidly approaching, companies are
looking for a proven product," said Jeffrey Unger, CEO, GenuOne, Inc.
"We are excited to work with C.H. Robinson in laying a foundation on
which they can satisfy imminent mandates and at the same time prepare
for further supply chain efficiencies."
