Introduction to RFgen

RFgen’s Mobile Unity Platform™ is the product that enables communication and the exchange of data between devices (Windows desktop, Windows CE, Android and iOS), databases (SQLite, SQL, Oracle, etc) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems such as Oracle JD Edwards, Oracle Cloud, SAP, or other legacy systems so that users can perform warehouse tasks such as scanning barcodes and transacting changes to inventory using mobile devices. For example, cycle counts can be performed on or off-site regardless of whether the user is connected to the company's network.

The Mobile Unity Platform (also called the RFgen server) features:

• Tools for customizing or developing new warehouse applications

• Consoles for administrating and maintaining RFgen Services

• Dashboards and consoles for monitoring user sessions, transactions, and device access to the server

By default, the Mobile Unity Platform installer also installs the RFgen Mobile Development Studio, which provides the software tools and platform used to design, test, and deploy mobile applications/solutions.

To enable communication between the RFgen server and devices (Windows Desktop, Windows CE, Android, or iOS), install the RFgen client software.
