Business Wire, Sept 8, 2004

RICHARDSON, Texas -- GlobeRanger, the leading provider of RFID, mobility and sensor-based software solutions, and ESYNC, a leading supply chain consulting, facilities engineering and systems integration firm, today announced a partnership to deploy GlobeRanger's iMotion(TM) Edgeware(TM) platform at International Paper's Customer Solutions Center.

ESYNC developed multiple edge workflows representative of typical supply chain processes including RFID receiving, picking with an intelligent forklift, picking to a high-speed conveyor belt and shipping. The edge applications enable users to easily interact with RFID systems through graphical interfaces. ESYNC will demonstrate its capabilities at the upcoming Open House for International Paper's Customer Solutions Center.

GlobeRanger's iMotion platform is designed for partners to accelerate RFID development. The platform is packaged with a software development kit (SDK), pre-built reader adapters and application components for data and process management. GlobeRanger's innovative visual workflow editor empowers developers to easily create edge applications in a visual, drag-and-drop environment. The platform also provides emulation capabilities for ease of testing and data integration.

"ESYNC is committed to maximizing the value our customers derive from investments in supply chain technology and systems," said John Sidell, an ESYNC co-founder and principal. "With RFID now one of the key technologies driving supply chain value, the partnership with GlobeRanger extends our ability to support integration of the best solutions for clients implementing RFID."

"ESYNC has deployed some of the most sophisticated edge workflows to date," said John Koenigs, president and CEO of GlobeRanger. "We're excited about the innovative work they are doing for International Paper and look forward to future collaborations."
