RF connectivity Options

[Former Member]

We are considering RF devices for our warehouse. We are on ECC 6.0. According to basis, we have the all the required components to use the integrated ITS. i.e. we don’t need any middleware. Would like to explore different architecture options to connect to our SAP instance using the RF device. Based on our reading so far, currently we are considering two options for our proof of concept.

1.      Integrated ITS

2.      Connecting  via SAP Console (Telnet session)

Can anyone share high level architecture details for any of the options?

For the Integrated ITS looks like we have all the required components to connect from RF device to SAP. But, we haven’t been successful so far. Anyone using Integrated ITS in their warehouse and their experience so far (performance, connectivity, user satisfaction)?

For the SAPconsole option –we have setup an NT server. The SAPconsole software will be installed on the NT server (which will be the middleware between the RF device and SAP). The notes are suggesting that we need telnet software installed. Not sure where are we suppose to install the telnet software? It must be on the NT server or it should be on a different server.

Any information will be helpful.

Thanks

Thanks Sridhar. From your note it is clear that the telner software must be installed on the NT server. Do you have any experience with ITS technology? We are trying to evaluate which technology is better.

Hi,

"We are trying to evaluate which technology is better."

The main question here is what kind of devices you are planning to use.

SAP Console is for character based devices, you use ITS Mobile for browser based devices, also if you want to use Pick-by-voice technology.

Hi Juergen,

We wil be using Motorla's MC9090 RF guns. You are correct, SAPconsole will be character based and ITS Mobile will be GUI. We are in the proof of concept phase and would like to explore both the options. Our goal it to show both the options to the business team and let them decide which one they want to go with. We will not be using pick by voice technology.

Thanks
