    摘要: An asset management system comprises a memory storing software instructions enabling control of a set of network devices having a corresponding allocated rack space, the set being sparsely distributed over multiple cabinets, wherein an aggregate rack space occupied by the set of network devices does not exceed the allocated rack space. A processor coupled with the memory and that executes, based on the software instructions stored in the memory, operations comprising generating a virtual representation representing the set of network devices residing in at least one virtual cabinet corresponding to the allocated rack space. The virtual representation is used to enable configuration of a functionality of at least one network device in the set of network devices residing in the virtual cabinet based on asset data of the at least one network device.

    摘要: A calibration execution section (calibration module) conveys a label mount by a conveyance pitch set by a conveyance pitch setting section (setting module) based on information including an arrangement state of a plurality of label papers attached to the label mount, and determines a writing position of information to an RFID tag (wireless tag), a wireless output value at the time of writing the information, and a threshold value for discriminating between a response signal from an RFID tag which is a writing target for the wireless output value and a response signal from an RFID tag which is not the writing target. An information writing section (writing module) writes the information at the writing position determined by the calibration execution section according to the wireless output value determined by the calibration execution section.

    摘要: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to monitoring RFID tags in a retail facility. In some embodiments, a system comprises an RFID tag, a first RFID reader monitoring a first zone and configured to determine, based on a signal received from the RFID tag, that the RFID tag is moving toward the second zone, transmit, to a second RFID reader monitoring the second zone, a notification indicating that the RFID tag is moving toward the second zone, and in response to receipt of a confirmation message from the second RFID reader, instruct the RFID tag to remain in its current state, and cease communication with the RFID tag, the second RFID reader configured to receive, from the first RFID reader, the notification, transmit, to the first RFID reader, the confirmation message, and transmit, to the RFID tag, a signal.

    摘要: A method and system for event delivery are described. A batch of events for a first topic with replay identifiers is received. Responsive to determining that there is an active replay identifier discontinuity information for the first topic, a determination is performed of whether the first batch of events includes a second set of events that fills the discontinuity identified in the replay identifier discontinuity information. Upon determining that the first batch of events includes a second subset of events with second respective replay identifiers that start from the last replay identifier and do not include a discontinuity the second subset of events is transmitted to an event consumer, and the replay identifier discontinuity information for the first topic is updated based on the second subset of events transmitted.
