Provia Tackles RFID in a Twofold Manner Part One: Recent Annoucements
P.J. Jakovljevic 8/11/2004 12:00:00 AM

Most recently, it would be its early embrace of RFID through two offerings for different levels of RFID needs: 1) ViaWare WMS--RFID compliant product, for intrinsic RFID enablement of many processes within the supply chain, and 2) the RFIDware add-on module, for achieving outbound RFID tag application only.
