Informatica for RFID Integration
Real-time Visibility of Global Supply Chain and Manufacturing Operations
Management of the extended value chain has driven increased requirements for new, innovative technologies for retrieval and management of data. As a result, a new technology, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), has emerged that promises to further fuel the growth of data volumes. Information systems, from supply to demand, will now house previously unheard of amounts of information from one end of an enterprise to the other—information that can be used by organizations to reduce inventory, increase productivity, and improve profitability. For example, manufacturers can track components and parts through assembly, transportation companies can track cargo and logistical information, and retailers can realize inventory on demand.
However, as data volumes grow, an organizations ability to extract value from that information will be a challenge. Simply capturing that data will not provide increased value. An end-to-end solution for capturing, integrating and enriching data in batch or real-time and delivering it to the business. Informatica’s data integration platform provides an end-to-end solution for data management required for RFID enablement, including standards support, real-time event management, metadata analysis, data lineage, data enrichment, profiling, cleansing, and security.
