Details on potential Business improvements using RFgen with SAP Enterprise Applications

RFgen offers "plug and go" integration with SAP Enterprise Applications and allows real-time data capture from a wide variety of hardware devices such as handheld electronic data capture devices, truck and fixed mounted terminals, as well as using both fixed and mobile label printers. With its high degree of scalability, SAP certified RFgen can be quickly installed at one site and then rolled out to numerous additional facilities as needed. Its flexible architecture makes it easily adaptable to changes in business processes or requirements.
The use of RFgen has shown that connecting workers with real-time information substantially improves enterprise operational efficiency. Not only this, it can streamline internal decision making processes, facilitate communications between multiple business units, and improve the overall visibility of the supply chain. The following benefits can typically be seen from the introduction of RFgen based, real-time wireless and mobile solutions into the SAP enterprise:

• Improved productivity, timeliness and accuracy – the simple act of eliminating paperwork and moving to a paperless system almost always generates substantial returns in user productivity, timeliness and accuracy.
• Enhanced decision making – when employees operate with access to accurate, up-to-the-minute information on work-in-process and material availability, their ability to plan, forecast and make better decisions is significantly enhanced.
• Increased return on investment – enterprise system(s) are able to generate enhanced results and return on investment when they operate using accurate, real-time data instead of out-of-date information caused by delays in manual data entry, lost paperwork, or employee keying errors.
• Empowered mobile workers – ensuring that your mobile workers can operate efficiently and successfully at their tasks is critical in today’s competitive environment; providing mobile workers with on-demand, remote access, to enterprise data is a key component in empowering their success.
• Elevated customer satisfaction – whether its improved levels of customer service, smoother interactions using CRM, or an increase in on-time, accurate product shipments, customer satisfaction rates almost always improve after the adoption of enterprise integrated, RFgen based automated data collection solutions.

The RFgen Framework even supports cross-platform enterprise system updates. This means that a single transaction can perform real-time updates to multiple enterprise systems. This capability can even be extended to consolidate multiple applications into a single transaction to achieve substantial process efficiencies. Using the built-in capabilities of the RFgen Framework, it becomes easy to eliminate problems caused by paperwork backlogs or manual data entry errors while streamlining workflow and delivering benefits directly to the enterprise.

RFgen Framework – Core Features Include

Fast Wireless and Mobile Deployments – RFgen’s advanced 4GL framework simplifies the entire process of designing, testing and deploying wireless and mobile applications through its use of built-in functionality, allowing developers to focus on what they want to accomplish rather than the mechanics required to get there. All RFgen based applications use the same proven, tested and optimized framework, resulting in faster implementations and increased ROI.

Open Systems Architecture – With built-in, certified connectivity for ODBC / OLEDB databases, Web Services, IBM / UNIX Screen Mapping, and Enterprise systems like SAP, JD Edwards or Microsoft Dynamics, regardless of what system you have, RFgen’s open system architecture can quickly connect to it. Whether your workers are on the shop-floor or out in the field, the RFgen Framework will seamlessly extend the reach of your enterprise system(s) to your wireless and mobile users by providing real-time, on-demand access to your enterprise data.

Open Systems Deployment – RFgen offers out-of-the-box graphical capabilities, signature capture, touch support, text to speech, and voice recognition for any device capable of running a Windows or Windows CE operating system (including Pocket PC, Mobile PC and Tablet PC.) Additionally, older legacy devices that can support a simple telnet connection can also run any RFgen application; with the RFgen Framework automatically rendering the display to support the capabilities of the target device.

Hybrid / Composite Application Support – RFgen’s unique technology simplifies the integration of multiple back-end enterprise systems into single automated data collection applications and transactions. Companies that need to combine data from multiple systems or update multiple systems from a single transaction can achieve substantial savings during the development life cycle by taking advantage of the built-in, proven methods found in the RFgen Framework.

Dynamic Forms and Screen Painting – All RFgen applications support the ability to “paint” their user interface in multiple arrangements that can better suit the physical constraints of different devices. Additionally, each prompt can be defined in multiple languages with the interface changing based upon the active workers profile. Under the RFgen Framework, only the user interface needs to change to support these options while the underlying code base remains the same - allowing developers to maintain a single set of business rules.

Network Device Management – RFgen’s built-in device management allows administrators to quickly query which devices are on their networks as well as to query data on the devices and even to push new data or updates to the devices. Additionally, RFgen's Network Administration also supports a two-way mirror of the users session, allowing support personnel to quickly and easily respond to devices issues in the field.Self-Supporting Architecture – RFgen’s device management can also be configured to automatically check for new application changes, new content, or event client updates, all without any user interaction necessary; this built-in self-supporting architecture enables the quick and easy flow of updates and revisions to devices deployed anywhere in the world.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership – Because the RFgen Framework addresses all components necessary for successful wireless and mobile solutions (design, testing, deployment, and support) the total cost of ownership is greatly reduced. Using RFgen, IT staff can focus their efforts on a single platform instead of needing to learn and support multiple tools. The cost savings enjoyed by companies starting with development and carried on to deployment can typically be reduced by over 50% when compared to alternative technologies or custom development.

Open Source Solutions – Beyond simply providing users with a framework for rapid wireless and mobile application development, RFgen also provides suites of ERP / task specific solutions with complete documentation released under open source licenses. These fully functional, certified, open source transactions can be deployed as is, or can serve as building-blocks for custom wireless and mobile applications.
