Supports a Variety of Wireless Devices

The SPEDE System is built on a powerful wireless platform that supports a wide variety of data input devices, including RFID readers, and RF handhelds, TouchScreens, push-buttons, weigh scales, laser distance meters, PLCs, and sensor-based devices.

The SPEDE application modules, which reside on a network server PC, integrate these devices and enable a mix of technologies to be used concurrently.

Our certified RFID/RF technicians can tailor a wireless solution that includes the right mix of technologies to fit your business processes, and meet your data collection requirements in the most efficient and cost-effective way.

No Middleware Needed

The SPEDE Server Module is the backbone of the SPEDE wireless platform, and resides on a network server PC. The SPEDE Server Module manages the network of RF and RFID devices using a thin client model.

This architecture ensures sub-second response times between the data collection devices and SPEDE applications, regardless of transaction volumes or the number of devices connected to the network. It also provides a fast and efficient way to remotely deploy system enhancements and add new devices.

The Server Module enables SPEDE applications to accept direct input from RFID, barcode scanning and other wireless sources, without the need for additional middleware.

Manages Host Communications

The SPEDE Server Module controls the 2-way communications with host ERP, EDI and Future Three systems. SPEDE transacts with host systems via loosely-coupled interfaces that use Data Queue and/or File Transfer Protocol (ftp) methods.

This architecture insulates SPEDE from host performance issues, enabling critical plant floor processes such as labeling, picking and shipping to continue uninterrupted even when the host is unavailable. It also enables you to completely replace your ERP system in the future without affecting the SPEDE applications, or disrupting your plant floor operations.

Real-time Accessibility - 24/7

The Server Module enables 24/7 browser-based access to an individual facility's SPEDE database, using any PC or wireless device connected to the network. This means that authorized personnel throughout your enterprise can easily check inventory, production and shipment details at a given facility via simple inquiries or reports.

In addition, your SPEDE facilities can transact electronically with each other, for example by automatically recording inter-plant transfers of work-in-process inventory.

Easily Scalable

You can add RFID and wireless devices to the RF network without limitation to the size or scope of your system, and without impacting SPEDE's real-time system performance. As new technologies become available for use on the factory floor, we integrate these technologies into the SPEDE application modules.
