What is SAP RF?
Ability to run SAP transactions directly on Radio Frequency equipment like handheld or forklift mounted devices. Eliminates the need for middleware since they directly conn ect to SAP SAP R/3. Due to the varying varying screen size of the different RF devices, SAP has developed special transactions with very easy-to-use logic. The SAP solution is focused on real-time handling of material flow through RF scanning devices. The concept of having the screens and the business logic within the SAP system makes it easy to administrate, easy to distribute new processes to each device, and easy to set up integration test scenarios. What are the benefits of SAP's RF solution?
SAP does not use any middleware product. On the one hand, this saves a lot of money and, on th e other, it reduces the effort required to work with a dditional software software serving as a middleware product. Furthermore, it enables you to keep the number of par tners low. It is relatively easy to implement additional processes or change existing functions, since the entire business logic lies within SAP R/3 ABAP workbench. In essence it provides seamless integration with SAP. What is SAP Console?
SAPConsole is a front-end product that translates GUI screens into text screens to display on a character-based device. The SAPConsole itself does not include any business logic. It is intended as a solution for customers who wish to use character-based character-based RF scanning devices and do not want to h ave specific software on each device.

general types of tags: passive and active
Passive tags carry no on-board power, but derive it from the radio waves emitted by a reader. Therefore they have a practically unlimited life but a shorter range. Active tags have a built in power cell and have a higher communication range, but a life limited to the life of the power cell. EPC ± ELECTRONIC PRODUCT CODE
The Electronic Product Code (EPC) is a unique number that identifies a specific object (not just types of objects) in the supply chain. It can be easily stored on a RFID tag. Once the EPC is retrieved from the tag, it can be associated with dynamic data such as from where an item originated or the date of its production.
