GlobeRanger’s
iMotion Edgeware Platform
Platform for Managing Device Networks,
Transforming Data and Optimizing Business Processes for Commercial and Government Markets
There are parts of an organization’s business activity that are not typically captured by a traditional information technology environment. We define this area as the ‘Enterprise Edge’. At the Edge, there is a continual movement of goods, assets, people, and events that generate large amounts of information essential to running the enterprise smoothly.
The Edge covers warehouses, dock doors, transportation links, retail floors, point of sale terminals, access points, manufacturing plants, etc. The emergence of technologies like RFID and sensors has created a tremendous increase in the speed and granularity of information generated at the Edge. If harnessed efficiently, this information can help automate processes by eliminating manual delays and errors and provide continuous visibility into the physical world to enable faster and better decision making at the enterprise.
This requires a software infrastructure between these data collection technologies and installed enterprise software systems that will seamlessly manage devices, data, and processes that exist at the enterprise edge.
Robust, Proven Platform for Production Level Deployments
GlobeRanger’s iMotion platform is rapidly emerging as the “Platform of Choice” for many companies that are scaling their RFID pilots into production-level deployments. The ease of development, deployment and maintenance, and the speed to solution have helped GlobeRanger repeatedly beat out other products in competitive “bake offs.” Neither middleware companies nor hardware-based companies have been able to match GlobeRanger’s iMotion platform in functionality, scalability, flexibility, and ease of use.
Some of the customers who have been delighted with the overall experience of an iMotion deployment include:
- Department of Defense (DoD) standardized on GlobeRanger’s iMotion Edgeware Platform at 19 Defense Distribution Centers (DDC) and completed the deployment in a matter of weeks.
- FloraHolland capitalized on higher selling prices for flowers based on documented freshness through RFID enabled “flower pedigree.” FloraHolland’s real-time tracking systems cut $200,000 in annual handling costs due to GlobeRanger’s iMotion Edgeware Platform.
- Daisy Brand realized a 67% reduction in loading time per pallet, greater visibility and productivity, and the capability to track and trace raw material to finished goods by deploying GlobeRanger’s iMotion Edgeware Platform.
- Beaver Street Fisheries saved $20,000 per pallet using an RFID high value tracking solution.
iMotion - MicroSoft.NET Based
GlobeRanger’s production-tested iMotion Edgeware platform simplifies the development, deployment, and management of RFID, mobile, and sensor-based solutions. This Edge software platform seamlessly integrates existing and new technologies such as bar code, RFID, wireless and sensor based systems preserving past investments while enabling new edge applications.
The iMotion platform is built exclusively on Microsoft’s .NET® technology and standard XML Web Services, and is capable of the highest levels of performance, reliability and scalability. By leveraging NET’s native Web Services support, GlobeRanger’s partners can offer more efficient and less expensive integration with back-end systems.
GlobeRanger has built upon the strengths of the .NET platform by developing a versatile device integration layer, an intuitive and graphical application development environment, a rich and growing library of configurable components, and a unique visual solution emulation tool.
The result is a platform that has enabled GlobeRanger and its partners to deliver to customers these unmatched services:
