Monday, October 23, 2006: New Delhi: Infosys Technologies has implemented SAP solutions for RFID for CHEP's global track and trace system. CHEP, a pallet and container pooling services company, would use this system to provide real-time visibility to its customers for their products as well as for tracking assets on which these products are shipped.
CHEP will deploy the RFID-enabled returnable transport item tracking solution from SAP to collect, monitor and analyse real-time RFID information on products and assets moving throughout the supply chain. The solution includes the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure, which serves as the foundation for the EPC and RFID data and business logic; the SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure component that translates and routes the actionable information into enterprise applications; and SAP Event Management, which monitors and tracks events about assets and identity exceptions.

"With Infosys' extensive RFID experience and global implementation capabilities and SAP's proven solutions for RFID, CHEP is looking forward to realising the promised potential of RFID technology in real business-world environments across the globe,? Puneet Sawhney, global program manager, RFID, CHEP.
