METRO Group, the 4th largest retailer in the world, has deployed Reva’s RFID Network Infrastructure products at about 400 locations of the sales brands Metro Cash & Carry, Real stores, and the METRO Group distribution centers. Reva’s TAP provides the key component that enables Metro’s RFID architecture to support current and future RFID initiatives.

Hewlett-Packard (HP) is a pioneer in the adoption and use of UHF RFID technology. Reva’s RFID Network Infrastructure products are deployed at HP manufacturing facilities in the US, Central America, South America and Asia. Reva was brought in to provide the second-generation solutions that HP required to move from pilot projects to production operations using RFID across multiple lines at multiple sites. HP’s RFID operations generate internal value for work-in-process and quality tracking as well as fulfill customer requirements for shipping tagged goods.

Dow Corning has deployed Reva’s technology at several chemical manufacturing plants to facilitate monitoring work-in-process using RFID. The chemical manufacturing processes that Dow Corning employs require strict safety, time and product proximity requirements which must be observed in a harsh environment. Reva was selected based on significant RFID performance improvements, powerful platform capabilities and best-in-class device management functionality.

Sony Logistics in Europe deployed Reva’s RFID Network Infrastructure to successfully implement an RFID tracking system that combines item-level RFID tagging and digital video to help Sony increase its shipping efficiency, reduce shrinkage and streamline the claims process. The pilot solution that Sony originally ran did not include Reva’s technology—it could not meet the production requirements of their difficult operating environment. Deploying Reva’s technology enabled the program to become a reality.

Lemmi Fashion, a Fritzlar, Germany-based supplier of children's apparel, deployed Reva’s RFID Network Infrastructure products as the cornerstone of Lemmi’s UHF item-level RFID program which enncompasses their global supply chain. By serving as the key enabler for Lemmi Fashion’s HF-to-UHF conversion, Reva’s TAP empowers Lemmi Fashion’s RFID architecture to support global operations, a diverse supplier base, an expanding customer list and return on investment from internal processes.

Reva’s RFID Network Infrastructure products enable the first complete supplier distribution to in-store point-of-sale RFID deployment using UHF Gen 2 standards-based systems and item-level tracking for a significant retail operation. The implementation for METRO Group’s high-end Galeria Kaufhof department store in Essen, Germany delivers consumer-facing RFID applications that are integrated from the distribution center to retail smart shelves and cashier checkout stations. The store-level deployment encompasses over 65 fixed and hand-held RFID readers from several vendors which are controlled and coordinated by Reva’s TAP products to deliver accurate and actionable data to multiple applications.
