QuickTrac software

Recognizing this emerging problem, Lockwood has developed an extremely simple and effective solution to this problem entitled QuickTrac?. QuickTrac adapts proprietary back end systems to interact with RFID data capture without modification to the software. QuickTrac simplifies integration between its embedded RFID middleware and any back end system, using an intuitive point-and-click wizard. The QuickTrac kit also includes user-defined data collection scripts that operate on a hand-held device.

The usefulness of RFID lies in the innate ability to automatically capture vast amounts of information using radio frequency technology. Specialized equipment is required and offered by many well-known manufacturers. Yet, to use this technology with existing legacy applications poses a new set of problems. To begin, software commonly referred to as middleware is required. Middleware must be integrated with back end system(s) to enable those applications to interact with RFID tools. Middleware typically requires modification to the back end system in order to implement and is only a part of the equation. Users also need flexible software for facilitating data capture.

As radio frequency identification (RFID) is becoming increasing prevalent many organizations are struggling with the complexities of integrating this technology with existing back end information systems.
