The good thing is - this should take you days and not weeks or months! Brilliant.....absolutely brilliant.

It's not all about reading and writing tags and watching the tracking of......to me RFID Services is all about what do you do with it next?

From a BizTalk perspective, RFID services is another msmq/wcf endpoint that provides rich tag data.

From here you can then process the tag read through biztalk - and as was the case in my demo, sent out to Sharepoint to be viewed by InfoPath.

One of the most exciting things around this is that we can get BAM involved to see how we're tracking, tag fulfillment, reading, processing - when orders arrive till when they leave the warehouse floor.

I'll be posting the demo bits that my colleague Scott Scovell & I stayed up till 2am on 'Demo Day' (hey - wouldn't be a demo without those nights/days :) - soon.

To get started you really want a physical reader to get cracking with - DLP RFID Reader make a good one for developers, and one of the folks at MS have written a 'provider' (This is the key with RFID Services) to use this within RFID Services.

Grab them both from here -

Enjoy!!!!
