Cambridge – May 1st 2007 - Ubisense, the precise real-time location company, has integrated its solution with the MicrosoftBizTalk RFID platform. This integration will enable users to take advantage of the “plug & play services” in BizTalk RFID to access the ultra-wideband (UWB) tags and sensors from Ubisense to provide real time visibility of processes throughout the enterprise. Many enterprises are discovering that by knowing precisely where an asset, tool or vehicle is located, and where it has been, can provide valuable insights into processes previously obscured. Ubisense delivers this information to BizTalk RFID which extends the Microsoft platform to build services that integrate and leverage existing IT investments and treat the “device as a service.” (SOA)
“With BizTalk RFID customers can connect real-time business processes using the tags and sensors from Ubisense,” said Steve Sloan, senior product manager in the Connected Systems Division at Microsoft Corp. “The location visibility provided by real-time location systems (RTLS) enables manufacturers and logistic providers to increase the velocity and productivity of their plants and distribution centres, thereby significantly reducing their costs.”
