RFID Solutions for Business Visibility
Together IBM WebSphere Sensor Events and the Mojix STAR system enable the deployment of end-to-end RFID solutions that deliver on-demand access to business information in supply chains, optimally manage inventory, and keep track of valuable assets in real time. The Mojix STAR system is certified for IBM's Ready for IBM WebSphere Sensor Events program delivering business visibility for RFID Solutions by combining the power of IBM enterprise software and the Mojix STAR system for large-scale, high-volume and economical RFID data collection. IBM WebSphere Sensor Events integration enables a simple, standards-based path for exploiting the Mojix STAR system's revolutionary functionality with enterprise class business visibility solutions. For example, the Mojix STAR system supports IBM WebSphere Sensor Events Location Aware Services (LAS) to visualize location events using passive RFID tag data including both tag reads and location data on goods and assets.

Mojix STAR System
The Mojix STAR™ system breaks through the economic and technical barriers to ubiquitous RFID deployment, enabling organizations to deploy a single, cost effective, EPC/ETSI/ISO standards based system to address the full spectrum of supply chain management and real-time location and asset tracking needs. The STAR system enables organizations to realize greater benefits from passive RFID, and opens the door to ubiquitous visibility of goods and assets across the supply chain.
