Data integration
Data integration refers to the combining and alignment of information from different sources so that it can be processed consistently within a shared system. In the RFID context, it ensures that automatically captured information is transferred to higher-level IT applications via Auto-ID middleware. The goal is a continuous flow of data without media discontinuities, duplicate maintenance or isolated data silos. This allows identification, movement and status data to be used consistently, evaluated more quickly and transferred reliably into operational processes. The integration of automatically captured information into ERP and warehouse processes improves the transparency and control of material flows.
