Supply Insight Revolutionizes Enterprise Auto-ID Mobility with rAgent™ Mobile

NEWINGTON, CT—June 15, 2010—Supply Insight® today introduced rAgent™ Mobile, a .NET edgeware application for RFID and barcode-enabled mobile devices that provides both wired and wireless access to asset and inventory management processes. rAgent™ Mobile maintains synchronicity with the enterprise database in both connected and disconnected states. rAgent™ Mobile revolutionizes the utility of mobile devices for the enterprise.

"rAgent™ Mobile is an innovative extension of our core products: rPlatform™, our EPCglobal certified, standards-based middleware for RFID and other AIDC; rInsight™ our asset tracking application; and, MandatePLUS™, our DoD RFID, UID and WAWF compliance software," said Dave Brewer, Supply Insight's CEO. "Mobile devices were extremely useful in the past when they had a reliable connection to the enterprise application, with rAgent Mobile™ they can be even more powerful even without a reliable connection. rAgent™ Mobile truly extends enterprise application functionality, especially with RFID and other Auto-ID requirements, to many capable mobile devices."

rAgent™ Mobile Brings True Mobility to the Enterprise Application
rAgent™ Mobile enables and dramatically increases worker productivity and mobility by streamlining common asset and inventory processes and reducing nonproductive activities such as paperwork and manual data entry.

rAgent™ Mobile seamlessly integrates with rPlatform™, rInsight™, MandatePLUS™ and IBM Maximo Server by leveraging best-in-class embedded relational database and synchronization technologies that can store and forward data when network connections are not continuously available. Thus, allowing users to maintain synchronicity with the enterprise database in both connected and disconnected states.

rAgent™ Mobile takes full advantage of enhanced hardware capabilities and storage capacities of mobile devices making enterprise database portability a reality.

rAgent™ Mobile Brings Enterprise Workflows and Data to Mobile Devices Not Previously Available
rAgent™ Mobile circumvents government and healthcare bans on wireless and radio communications that severely limit the utility of mobile devices and impose a significant hurdle on extending the enterprise application with a high-capacity embedded relational database and selectable synchronization modes compatible with RF restrictions.

rAgent™ Mobile overcomes the dilemma of unreliable wireless connectivity in health care and leisure & recreation environments with a bidirectional remote datastore that can dynamically exchange data with the enterprise datastore as users move in and out of network connectivity.

rAgent™ Mobile moves beyond web-based mobile applications requiring a continuous network connection and eliminates the quandary of temporary unexpected disruptions in warehousing and supply chain settings with a portable repository and on-demand synchronization.

Pricing & Availability
rAgent™ Mobile will be available with enterprise or per-device based licensing in Q3 2010. rAgent™ Mobile will initially be sold direct from Supply Insight and soon be available through Supply Insight's channel of distributors and integrators.

rAgent™ Mobile requires a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows 2000 and later, and a mobile device supporting USB 2.0 and Windows Mobile 5 and later. Other mobile device-to-PC connectivity options are available.
