Demetrius Keep in mind to make sure the RF technology works with other platforms, just in case you do change platforms. Vince -----Original Message----- From: Andy Jacobs [mailto:ajjacobs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 11:58 AM To: 'MAPICS ERP System Discussion' Subject: RE: RF Technology Demetrius When looking into an RF system, you should ask yourself a few questions first. 1.) What is the objective of using RF. 2.) What kind of security issues on the wireless do you require. If you are looking to implement a wireless backbone to be able to do MAPICS transactions in realtime, then there are quite a few wireless options out on the market that will provide you with the connection to the network. Depending upon what devices you hook up to the system, the wireless will get you connected to the network, which you can then reach your host system from there. You will need to look into how your MAPICS screens displayed on the devises and there are many options out there that will help you with this. There are many software options out on the market that can help you with connectivity to these devices back to MAPICS. The key point I would look at would be security setting on the wireless devices and access points. If this is a critical issue for your company, you cannot mix access points and handheld devices very well and get the encryption to work properly. Look for a vendor who can supply wireless devices like a Cisco (Access Points Only), Intermec, Symbol who can supply you with access points, scanning equipment and wireless network cards if you use PCs out on the floor. If you have further questions regarding this, feel free to contact me offline.

Presently we are looking at using an extensive 802.11b network, touch screen PCs mounted on forklifts with bluetooth barcode scanners (we use batch lot numbering and print them out as barcodes and affix to the product) with custom software to post the MAPICS transactions. However we are starting on the receiving end instead of shipping. -Jimmy -----Original Message----- From: mapics-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mapics-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Graham, Demetrius A (GE Trans, Unison) Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 12:42 PM To: 'mapics-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx' Cc: Graham, Demetrius A (GE Trans, Unison) Subject: RF Technology We are looking at using RF technology in our warehouses for picking. Does anyone have a list of companies using RF interfacing to Mapics? _______________________________________________ This is the MAPICS ERP System Discussion (MAPICS-L) mailing list To post a message email: MAPICS-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/mapics-l or email: MAPICS-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/mapics-l. _______________________________________________ This is the MAPICS ERP System Discussion (MAPICS-L) mailing list To post a message email: MAPICS-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/mapics-l or email: MAPICS-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/mapics-l. _______________________________________________ This is the MAPICS ERP System Discussion (MAPICS-L) mailing list To post a message email: MAPICS-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/mapics-l or email: MAPICS-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/mapics-l.
