TAG_NOTIFICATION

Binding Description

REST API to APIGEE

Purpose

This Binding will notify a subscribing system of Inventory state changes of tagged objects as they are seen at RFID Portals / Read Points. This has been used to to notify APIGEE (Cloud based API broker) when Finished Goods (FG) are seen on a production line. APIGEE would consume this RFID event and route the update to the ERP on the back end. When a FG item (e.g. recliner) is seen at a given read point on the conveyor (e.g QA, Packing, Pint & Apply), it is moved to its new inventory location (via IMOVE rule) and provides an event notification to APIGEE that a given serialized FG item has reached that point. TagNet will pass the FG serial # (mapped to the TagID) and the location it occurred as shown below in JSON document example

Note: this binding is used in conjunction with an inbound REST API that commissions the FG Item (sent from the Labelware) as shown below in JSON document example. The Serial # of the FG Item will be commissioned as the TagID and this will be associated with a generic Item Number. TagNet will not have any awareness of the Object details other than the Serial #. Refer to TagNet Web API section for details.

Logic

This Binding function performs the following logic:

üCollects whatever tags are read during a given read event cycle from a given portal, and sends them in real time via REST API.

üSupports full GPIO script as a result of standard MATCH / NOMATCH / ERROR / NOTAG variables.
