New RFID Service Applies Tags to Shipped Items

摘要

Hewlett-Packard is expanding its RFID services for IT-infrastructure tracking with the introduction of the HP Factory Express RFID sercice. It features the application of EPC Gen 2 RFID tags to the blade servers and other IT assets that a company orders. Factory Express provides HP's customers with preconfigured IT products that the company installs and tests for them, allowing the customers to get up and running with functional servers, data storage and other IT products right out of the box. By having the HP Factory Express RFID service apply tags to the products they order, customers can use fixed-position or handheld RFID readers to begin tracking the IT assets' locations as soon as they receive them.
