[June 14, 2005] Case Study on RFID/GPS/GIS – Radio Frequency IDentification, Global Positioning System and Geographic Information Systems Wednesday TECHtionary.com TECH-Tip – Case Study on RFID/GPS/GIS – Radio Frequency IDentification, Global Positioning System and Geographic Information Systems The animated TECH-Tip tutorial is available at http://www.techtionary.com Summary An EVS-Enterprise Visibility System tracks moving items or networked infrastructure and the appropriate attributes in real-time. It has been designed to work with a range of tracking systems including barcode reading, RFID-Radio Frequency IDentification tagging and GPS-Global Positioning System technology with GIS-Geographic Information Systems. Details This a case study on RFID/GPS/GIS, there are 4 Steps. Step 1: EVS-Enterprise Visibility System tracks moving items or networked infrastructure and the appropriate attributes in real-time. It has been designed to work with a range of tracking systems including barcode reading, RFID-Radio Frequency IDentification tagging and GPS-Global Positioning System technology. Step 2: EVS integrates the real-time GPS-Global Positioning System positional data with appropriate GIS-Geographic Information Systems mapping geography to give the exact location of the tracked item. Step 3: EVS layers the live RFID tracking and mapping data with financial and operating information from the business to give complete visibility of key performance indicators. GIS is an integrated computer modeling system designed to provide geographic references such as various types of data sets: hydrology (water distribution systems), telecommunications networks, road networks, urban mapping, land cover, and demographic data that can contain hundreds of pieces of information about a specific feature presented in a spatial map context. Step 4: EVS can be accessed from multiple locations via a variety of devices and displays. The interface offers a variety of view options so EVS can be customized for different users across the organization, from the CEO to operational decision-makers.
