Agenda Microsoft BizTalk RFID Overview Architecture Application models Implementing Event Handlers Sensors and SOA Sensor Service Bus Integrating with BizTalk RFID and VSTS Triggering Workflow applications Q&A

General overview What is BizTalk RFID? Open Platform to develop RFID solutions Engine tools and framework for dealing with RFID devices and other sensors What BizTalk RFID is not It is not an implementation of specific business case RFID Package Part of BizTalk 2006 R2 Set of assemblies based on.NET 2.0 and.NET 3.0 Microsoft BizTalk RFID Service (RfidServices.exe) RFID Management Console Version 1 - Q407, V-Next – Q208:CTP

Logical Overview Distributed ’edge’sites running BizTalk RFID Device Layer RFID fixed and mobile readers Barcode scanners PLCs, etc. Physical Layer RFID tags, barcodes Biometric systems Environmental sensors, etc. RFID & Sensor Services Manage devices at the edge Add context and turn raw events into business-process–relevant information Interpret events at the edge through filters, rules & alerts Business Intelligence  BAM for Process BI  SQL/SQL BI for data analytics Business Applications  Connect to multiple LOB apps  Orchestrate business process  Apply business logic
