Product Description

X-3000 – a suite of distributed computing appliances – consists of an RFIDrouter and an RFID Network Manager appliance with a Configuration System that create an infrastructure designed to enable even the largest of supply chain operations to seamlessly scale their RFID implementations physically and logically. X-3000’s patent-pending Aspect-Oriented processing engine and distributed router intelligence capabilities allow companies to deploy large-scale, centrally-managed RFID networks to control their most important asset: real-time information about their physical assets and processes. Unlike customized software solutions or middleware, X-3000 is optimized specifically to conform to the needs of supply chains from build out to on-going operations.

Market Opportunity

Spending on RFID for the retail supply chain in the U.S. is estimated to grow from $91.5M in 2003 to almost $1.3B in 2008 with a 2003-2008 CAGR of 70% (IDC). The overall RFID market was $1.12B in 2003, projected to grow to $1.6B in 2005 consisting of hardware, software and services (VDC).

Demo Says

As RFID moves from promise to production, a whole new set of infrastructure technologies will be required to build out RFID networks. Much of the initial technology push has been on tags, sensors, and applications. Now, Blue Vector Systems steps in with smart appliances that tie these components together into a scaleable network. By providing the infrastructure of the RFID network, customers can focus on the business requirements and process improvements that reap the benefit of the RFID technology. - CS
