About noFilis

noFilis was founded 2005 with operations in Munich, Germany and St. Petersburg, Russia. By watching the RFID-market, talking to people in this business, we consistently improved understanding the needs and requirements. After one year of listening to the RFID-people noFilis collected the missing peaces and developed CrossTalk, the first piece of the Enterprise-RFID-Suite.

An open and flexible ERMS (Enterprise Readers Management System) is available now. CrossTalk - the Enterprise software solution for integration and control of RFID-devices with any RFID-middleware (such as SAP`s AutoID-Infrastructure, AII).

In additon to standard Software Packages, noFilis offers and provides professional services for RFID-related projects (hardware, software, implementation, concepts, process management, project management, etc.). To fullfill these complex requirements, noFilis partners with Intel Solution Services. Together we provide expertise and knowledge of RFID device related issues, from sensors to network management, from reader's firmware to RFID middleware. We guide you from concept via analysis via testing via pilot to going life - the complete life cycle.

The noFilis approach

When people start to talk about RFID they often use phrases like " the physical internet". We call it "talking things".

RFID is and will change things, it will change technology, it will change business and it will of course change the way of how we view RFID-projects. We will see new hardware components, we will see new software components and we will see a new or additional way of communication. But more than ever in the past, we will have to integrate all these new components to existing technologies and applications. Buzzwords like EAI, BPM, middleware, SCM, EDI, Legacy, etc. has to match against Readers, Tags, RFID, HF, Mote, Mesh, Dust, etc.

noFilis will combine these worlds by providing excellent services as far as hardware integration, software and processes of all these involved technologies are concerned.

noFilis develops and provides open and flexible standard software packages, addressing the needs of the RFID-market - reliability (support 7 x 24), flexibility (support all upcoming technologies) and commodity (support mass-market needs).

RFID projects do need experts, who understand Hardware and radio frequency as well as software and communication issues beeing addressed by business processes and legacy systems.Together with our network, noFilis provides these skills:

brainstorming about your DSC (Digital Supply Chain) ideas

analysis of your DSC-ideas

feasability of your DSC-ideas

concepts for your DSC-project

implementation of your DSC-projects (HW, SW, processes, legacy-systems, ...)

test-management of your DSC-projects

project management of your DSC-projects

going to market of your DSC-projects

Life-cycle-management of our DSC projects

Standard Software-packages for your DSC-projects

Analysts View

There is much change in the growing RFID market segment. IDC predicts 70% worldwide growth in
the next five years as many RFID and EPC pilot projects convert to full-scale deployments. In this
phase, solutions that offer neutral, third-party services can assist with the design, deployment and
management of these projects and become critical components of successful implementations3.

Currently, there are many different software solutions to choose from, but the key to success
of an RFID implementation Gartner calls an ‘RFID Framework and Management architecture’. Gartner
expects that RFID Framework and Management architecture software will split into:

Reader-level components that provide only basic data and device management and
Components of packaged applications that stem from RFID Framework components

Currently, none of the large reader vendors provides this capability, making room for new players to create components which may impact a company's decision when it evaluates vendors’ solutions.3
The important thing to consider is how introducing systematic management principles for RFID compares
to today’s relatively unmanaged processes.
