CYBRA's EdgeMagic the Right RFID Prescription for Leading Specialty
Pharmaceutical Company
EdgeMagicT RFID Control Software for IBM Power Systems Chosen for EPC
Mandate Compliance Requirements; Picking, Packing, and Shipping Efficiency
CYBRA Corporation (OTC BB: CYRP.OB), the developer of award-winning
MarkMagicT Bar Code Labels, RFID Tags, and Electronic Forms Software for IBM
Power Systems (formerly known as System i), today announced that a leading
specialty pharmaceutical company has successfully deployed its EdgeMagicT
RFID Control Software for IBM Power Systems at one of its manufacturing
locations. Due to the proprietary nature of the customer's manufacturing
processes, the customer requested that their name not be disclosed.
Customer Sought Native IBM Power System RFID Solution
According to Chuck Roskow, CYBRA VP of Operations, "the customer is a
strictly IBM Power Systems shop. Their program design required an RFID
solution that supported both their IBM Power System server and the Motorola
MC9090-G RFID handheld reader. The customer was thrilled when they learned
of CYBRA's EdgeMagic IBM Power System solution, because it includes support
for IBM Data Queues. With this solution the operator scans 1D bar codes on
the order form, 1D and 2D bar codes on most products, and RFID EPC tags on
products destined for Wal-Mart and other mandating customers using the
Motorola MC9090-G RFID handheld, and the data is passed directly to the Data
Queue for further processing. The customer is very impressed with EdgeMagic
performance - the scanned data appears on their server instantaneously."
Roskow concludes: "EdgeMagic allows the customer to add new functions with
ease." The company is also planning to use EdgeMagic to drive Motorola XR450
fixed readers for additional applications.
According to Harold Brand, CEO of CYBRA, "We are pleased that that a leading
specialty pharmaceutical company selected EdgeMagic precisely because it
runs on the IBM Power System server. RFID is an important technology for
pharmaceutical industry - especially for companies who need to comply with
the E-Pedigree laws of the states of Florida and California. The ability to
track Lot, Potency, Expiration, National Drug Code, Electronic Product Code,
Manufacturer, Distributor, Wholesaler, Pharmacy, and the serial number of
each dosage unit requires the integration of RFID technology at the point of
manufacture. This customer is a best-in-class pharmaceutical company that
has thrived by developing exclusive technologies. Given their proven record
of innovative technology, it is natural that they selected EdgeMagic for
their IBM Power System server which will give them a head start on meeting
the California Board of Pharmacy's "E-Pedigree Requirements" which are
scheduled to go into effect in January, 2011."
