Re: RF for Warehouse/Shop Floor

[Glenn Gundermann <ggundermann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following is from a friend who is not on the list but was kind enough to
answer my query.

Yes we use Computer Associates Warehouse BOSS and have integrated it
          with BPCS so if something moves in the warehouse it also moves in
BPCS.
          We use the IBM solution for RF and it works like a charm.  There are

          some new enhancements to the RF offering that will allow it to plug
          directly into the token ring adapter on the AS/400 without requiring

          the wireless lan adapter card.  We chose this solution, first
because
          we wanted token ring and secondly because it was a truly seemless
          solution - no external boxes that would require redundancy and
separate
          programming skills, just good old-fashined plug and play.

We are looking into getting Radio Frequency for the Warehouse/Shop Floor.
We have BPCS 405 CD - AS/400 based - Green screen.
Is there any packages that can be recommended?
Applications - Order picking - Shop floor - Inventory control.
The displays to emulate a 5250 device and have bar-code scanning capabilities.
