What is WRDI?

• WebSphere RFID Device Infrastructure (WRDI)
• WRDI is pronounced WORDY
• RFID Middleware
• Software Tools
• WRDI Enabled RFID Hardware
• Edge Server or Smart Reader
• Partial RFID Solution
• 50-90 Complete
• It does require some amount of custom integration

WRDI Framework on IF5

• Local Control
• Quick Response Times
• digital inputs from external sensors
• RFID tags read that signify an important event
• Reduce Solution Hardware Cost
• IF5 can substitute for some PLC requirements
• Reduce System Overhead
• Minimize Network Traffic
• Filter Tag Data Sent to Server
• Off-load Server Processing
• Implement business rules on IF5

Agents and Micro Broker

• Agents are loosely coupled via Micro Broker
• Micro Broker is Pub/Sub Mechanism
• Agents Publish and Subscribe to Topics
• Topics are structured strings. Example
• gpio\in\line4\on, rfid\cmd\read,
  rfid\ant1\tag
• Topics are published with data. Example
• publishrfid\ant1\tag 0xEF04..59A6
• Subscribers Specify Topics with Wildcard
  Optional. Example
• subscribe gpio\in\
