Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) deployment is automating critical business processes such as supply chain management, inventory/asset management and access control. As RFID networks are deployed to improve efficiency, reduce waste and minimize cost, it becomes critical to maintain availability across the entire system, from the tags, to the readers, to the IT infrastructure maintaining the vast amount of data generated. APC can help protect these key networks and data with a range of solutions for the entire network-critical physical infrastructure – protecting the foundation on which these RFID systems are built. RFID is being rapidly adopted in many industries including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, government and transportation. This deployment requires significant changes to the infrastructure supporting it, particularly in sites susceptible to power and environmental conditions. As industries rely more and more on this key application, they need to depend on their expanding infrastructure - virtually 7x24x365 – so as not to experience any business interruption, loss of revenue or competitive disadvantage. Maintaining RFID availability means protecting all of the components, from the readers and label printers, to the portals, on through to the storage/switches/routers in wiring closets and data centers. APC solutions range from UPSs protecting printers to integrated network-critical physical infrastructure (NCPI) solutions for wiring closets to large data center installations. These highly available solutions-- including power, cooling, management, racks and service --are designed around standardized, scalable and flexible components to help accelerate your deployment.
