Rfid in sap

Hello,
I have following problem:
I want to get datas from a rfid-reader into my sap r3 system and it must be very cheap.
the next problem is that i don`t know which rfid-reader i should use, please give me some suggestions.
The next problem is that i don't konw how i get the informations from the reader to the sap system.
Some different solutions whould be nice and helpfull.
i am very thankfull for your help...

Hi Chris,
Most of the RFID readers (Motorolla for example) have their own windows programming API's. you may want to just develop simple screens and call those API's. When you want to record something in SAP ( good movement etc) , you can call Web services that you can host out of SAP Web AS. If the warehouse is small and there aren't too many, this is probably the cheapest I can think of..
Thanks

RFID on SAP BUSINESS ONE

Hello, we are starting a project for making inventory movements using RFID, specially the options "receipts from production" and "sales orders". I've read about the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure Device Controller Interface, is this for SAP Business One too, or is it only for another version of SAP? Which solution is there for SAP Business One?, can this be accomplished with the SDK
I'll appreciate your responses.
Thanks,
Vicente

Hi
the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure Device Controller Interface describes the interface between SAP Auto-ID solution and an RFID device controller.
Configuration Guides:
http://service.sap.com/scm -> RFID -> Detailed Information
SAP AII supports the ALE-interface and the so called classic message interface that consists of an XML command messages (send from SAP to the DC) and XML notification messages (send from DC to SAP). Its based on XML/PML, so you can use it with any system with know to handle XML.
I don't know if the is something special for Business One

Help-study material for rfid and sap integration required

please any body can help me to get study material for sap-RFID integration

Here's some additonal ideas from SAP Education:
Education website http://www50.sap.com/useducation. Although the education website url will not direct the person to any specific courses if you type in 'RFID' and then press enter; seven courses that include RFID are listed and offered through SAP education.
The RKT website(Rampup Knowledge Transfer on Service Marketplace) https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/rkt-rfid will direct a person to RFID specific course material.
The http://www.sap.com/rfid website is another good site for RFID information but does not list education courses. A person will find whitepapers and introductory information there.

RFID - SAP AII

Hi all,
Need some infomation on SAP AII and also how to relate RFID with SAP AII and also SAP Data base,
How the data will be filtered in SAP AII?
If anyone knows regarding this let me know
Thanks,
-Teena.

Hi Teena,
SAP RFID Solution Package
The SAP RFID solution package provides a complete auto-ID middleware solution connecting RFID data directly from auto-ID data capture sources, such as RFID readers and device controllers, and integrates the data directly into enterprise applications . It converts raw RFID data into business process information by making the associations from key business rules, master data, and transactions to raw RFID data .
SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
Auto-ID Infrastructure is compatible with SAP R/3 4.6C or greater, and it also has adapters for SAP Warehouse Management, SAP Business Information Warehouse, SAP Supply Chain Event Management, SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization, and all SAP NetWeaver components.
Auto-ID Infrastructure is designed to synchronize EPC and RFID information into your ERP systems by providing a complete, multidimensional data model of RFID-enabled assets, including:
1.EPC number
2.Asset location
3.Status
4.Last RFID read point
5.Handling unit number
6.Packing hierarchy association (such as item, item-to-case, or case-to-pallet)
It then maps this data to your SAP R/3 system via association to handling units (HUs). Handling unit headers include a standards-based HU number, weight, volume, and dimensions. HU content includes material number, quantity, unit of measure, batch number, plant number and location, and stock category (such as consignment), as well as serial number and inspection lot data.
These HUs are then associated with EPC numbers and are integrated into the appropriate transaction for processes such as production orders, transfer orders, sales orders, delivery (ASNs) and receipt, shipment, picking and packing, and inventory move and packing operations.
Because it is built on SAP Web Application Server, Auto-ID Infrastructure supports multiple communication interfaces (HTTP, SOAP, WSDL, SOCKET/ TCPIP), as well as mobile interfaces to PocketPC 2003 and Mobile Linux (Sharp).
It runs on Windows (XP, 2000, NT), Unix, and Linux, and supports Oracle, SAP DB, DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server.This should answer your query.
Thanks & Regards,
Pawan P.Khilari

RF and RFID

Hello everyone,
I have a basic question for you. I'm working in a WM envinornment which involves configuration and customizing, but I never worked on RF environment as it was generally done by another team. But, I'm anxious to know various configurations involved and limitations of "Functional consultant's" role in it. Is the configuration involved the same in RF and RFID enterprise.
Do a functional consultant involved in configuring SAPConsole.
Is the method involved in writing the functional specifications the same for regular SAP transactions and RF enterprise. What is the difference between application of RF and RFID (From SAP's perspective-configuration, is that the same)
Please help me with the understanding of above terms. Hoping for a positive response from you, I take leave

You can take any of the application mention in my reply and design a business scenario according to your requirement and the time constraints.
For e.g:
It can be simple application of employee detection, Theft detection in a shop or it can be a simple application of warehouse management
1.Here the asset are tagged -(commisioning of tags),
2.moved into warehouse where the are tags read by the reader(reader deamon)and
3.the the tags are removed for making the assets ready for shipment.(Decommissioning of tags)

Case Studies

Hi guys,
Are there anybody here who have implemented RFID with SAP and can explane a little about this proccess ?

Hi Guilherme,
Could you please be more specific of what you require?
Anyhow to give you a picture of what RFID is?
1.What is it's purpose! Where it will be used mainly.
a)Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a state-of-the-art technology for extensive identification of every type of object. It enables rapid and automatic data acquisition via radio waves.At its most basic level, Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID ) is a wireless link to uniquely identify objects or people.
RFID is a means of capturing data about an object without using a human to read the data.
The object of any RFID system is to carry data in suitable transponders, generally known as tags, and to retrieve data, by machine-readable means, at a suitable time and place to satisfy particular application needs. Data within a tag may provide identification for an item in manufacture, goods in transit, a location, the identity of a vehicle, an animal or individual.
b)RFID is becoming more popular in applications where other identification technologies, such as barcodes, are no longer sufficient (e.g. logistics, material management, industrial automation, services etc.).
POSSIBLE COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS OF THIS SYSTEM
Electronic Article Surveillance(EAS)
logistics
Asset Management
Waste Management
Yard Management
Fare Collection
Animal Identification
Luggage Tracking in Airports
Industrial laundries
Fugitive Emission Detection
Totes/Conveyor
Vehicle Identification
Automotive Anti-theft
Employee Identification
The list continues.It can be used in man
Advantages of RFID:
Contactless identification (also possible without line of sight)
Reads through many materials like cardboard, wood etc.
Unlimited reading and writing of the memory
Identification takes less than a second
Simultaneous reading of various transponders
Resistant to harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperature, humidity etc.
Shape and size of the transponders can be adapted as desired
Transponders can be completely integrated into a product
High security due to copy and password protection or encrypted data communication
2.Future prospects
The coming RFID tsunami is real and it has two mega-sized supply buyers written all over it: Wal-Mart and the DoD.
Walmart, the worlds largest retailer, and the US Dept of Defense (DOD), are two powerful entities that have launched initiatives to implement RFID in their logistics operations, motivated by their needs to cut costs and streamline their supply chain in their organizations.
In the coming years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) could have a major impact on any enterprise involved in the production, movement, or sale of physical goods. RFID's unique attributes will enable new applications and radical changes to business practices. RFID technology is a powerful Auto ID solution that can significantly increase efficiency and productivity. Implementing an RFID solution requires a thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of this emerging technology.
So the future is absolutely very bright.
SAPs RFID solution is packaged as a standalone solution package built on top of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, and consists of:
SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
SAP Event Management
SAP Enterprise Portal
Backend ERP adapters to SAP R/3 4.6C and greater
And also you can go through these also.
Here is a link which will give you information on the basics of RFID
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/RFID.html
SAP Console Framework which enables users to execute R/3 transactions from Character based device including RF devices.
SAP Console consists of following three main components
1. SAP Console Software / Interface component
2. SAP Console Administrator Defining properties of SAP console
3. SAP Console I/O Engine I/O engine through which SAP console and User interact
Installation of SAP Console is a part of SAP GUI installation
Telnet server installation on the same machine in which SAP console is installed.
Standard Telnet server are
1.Slnet From Seattle Labs
2.GS_Tnet from Georgia Soft works
But any Telnet Sever application can be used which supports VT220 emulation.
Telnet Client is the Interface which is used to execute transactions. Ex. RF device

How mobile device ( rfid/barcode reader) communicates with SAP transaction.

Dear Friends !
Good morning, How are you ?
I want to understand that in ITSmobile How Mobile device ( RFID Reader ot Barcode scanner/reader) to fetch the data and supply the ITS screen.
I believe every mobile device has some .dll file or something in that we have some methods if we call it say in .net or java application we can read the rfid or barcode and from the returning paramter of the .dll method we can get information what we want ( if i m not wrong).
now the question is if I have some barcode /rfid number which is assigned to sap material number. if on mobile device I run mm02 transaction code n trigger the gun can I get the material number in material number field . ( assume I have program which can fetch the material number from barcode/rfid number.) ? but to pass rfid number / barcode what should I do. I can write javascript and call that method but dont know weather I can use javascript or not in that.
to be simple:
How can I get barcode / rfid number to my sap transaction. if possible
please give me any suggestion. document link... help.... whatever may help me to understand this. I will greatly appreciate your reply
Thanking you
Regards
Naeem

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to note 1057759 for the delivered Drivers for Peripherals in SAP DOE. This lists all the supported barcode scanners for SAP Netweaver Mobile. Those derivers are certified after testing to work only with that device and OS configuration.
The Javadoc to get an idea about how to use those PIOS API for barcode scanner
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/nwmobile/SP3/laptops/com/sap/ip/me/api/pios/scanner/ScannerConnection.html
As input from Barcode scan have to be taken in Wedge Mode, there is no need to do any developments in MI JSP Application. To enable barcode scan one can download barcode scan tools available from Handheld Vendor sites

Amith
