Graz, Austria-based technology experts RF-iT Solutions and the meco group have signed a partnership agreement. The occasion was the RFID Journal LIVE! Europe, the largest RFID event in Europe, which is currently taking place from November 6 to 8 in Amsterdam.
"In the fashion industry, we are seeing a growing demand for RFID solutions and increasing interest in these products, which may be deployed in a large variety of ways," Dominik Berger, managing director of RF-iT Solutions, stated.
The Graz-based technology company is a provider of RFID middleware and technology consulting services, products that support the interlinking of business processes, RFID technology and IT systems. To this end, the Graz-based software and technology company RF-iT Solutions has developed You-R OPEN, the world’s leading RFID operating environment which serves as a platform for system integrators. To date, reference projects have been successfully completed for Karstadt Warenhaus GmbH, Bültel, Otto, Windsor and gardeur.
Among the major drivers for implementing this innovative technology in the textile and clothing industry are EU regulations, globalized markets, broadly distributed supplier networks as well as growing complexity in the face of shrinking profit margins.
A number of pilot projects carried out with international partners have put RF-iT Solutions in a leading position in this market segment. "Our expertise clearly lies in the area of RFID software and technology. Yet, in order to be able to implement projects using RFID technologies that are feasible both in technical and economic terms, we rely on partners with profound process knowledge who have also grasped how to integrate RFID with ERP systems," Berger explained.
Their most recent partner is the meco group of Germany, who specialize in IT consulting, infrastructure management services, RFID-based solutions as well as user help desk services and on-site support for the textile industry, retailers, SMEs and the health services sector. "The market is pushing strongly for RFID.
This technology will enhance the efficiency of many existing logistics processes, enable capacities to be increased and costs reduced. Particularly in this connection I appreciate the flexible concept embodied in You-R OPEN, which is especially suited for deployment in the retail and fashion segments.
To us, You-R OPEN ideally complements our array of high-quality services in the area of RFID, which build on the IT expertise and process knowledge amassed within the meco group," Norbert Hofmann, CEO of meco Systemhaus AG, announced.
The meco group has been supplying IT consulting, management services, infrastructure management services, RFIDbased solutions as well as user help desk services and on-site support for the textile industry, retailers, SMEs and the health services sector since 1998. The meco group stands for quality when it comes to solutions in the areas of application service providing, managed services, retail software solutions as well as innovative leasing concepts.
