Have an SAP® Auto-ID Infrastructure Environment? Now It’s Easy to Integrate RFID Printing/Encoding

Good news: SAP has certified Zebra’s new XML Schema firmware for integration with SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure, a component of the SAP NetWeaver™ platform, which powers many SAP solutions for radio frequency identification (RFID) data. What does that mean for you? With our easy-to-use, SAP-certified interface, you can print RFID smart labels directly from your SAP solution without any middleware or additional programming -- saving you installation and maintenance time and money.

For additional details, read the press release, contact your Zebra authorized reseller, or call Zebra’s Inquiry Department at +1 800 423 0442. For more about Zebra’s solutions for SAP environments, visit http://www.zebra.com/sap.
