RFID middleware and application provider OATSystems today announced the availability of a new RFID management offering in its OAT Foundation Suite. The OATenterprise platform provides real-time visibility into distributed RFID deployments, in addition to centralized management across multiple locations, the company said.

With OATenterprise, manufacturing companies can use a dashboard management system accessed via a Web-based interface to deploy, monitor, and optimize RFID data, devices, and workflow rules. Companies can track orders, assets, and equipment in real time, officials said, and address process exceptions regardless of location.

Prior iterations of the OAT Foundation Suite monitored readers across multiple sites, but "OATenterprise adds the ability to deploy business logic and manage enterprise-wide master data — bringing all the pieces of the puzzle into one place," said Paul Cataldo, vice president of marketing at OATSystems, in an interview with Managing Automation.
