Lowry Partners With CODE Plus To Offer A Cost-Effective Tag & Ship RFID Solution For DoD Suppliers

Lowry Computer Products, a manufacturer, systems integrator, and technology provider headquartered in Brighton, MI, announced that it has partnered with CODE Plus, Inc., a leading provider of logistics automation solutions based in Washington, D.C., to offer a complete RFID solution designed for suppliers to the Department of Defense (DoD) as well as large retailers.

Lowry's EPCessentials is a bundled solution for DoD suppliers, and includes best-inclass hardware and software products from leading technology providers plus a supply of smart labels suited for passive RFID tag labeling.

"With the introduction of our EPCessentials solution, Lowry provides a service to help the Government supplier community comply with current DoD RFID labeling mandates," said Mark Brown, V.P. of New Business Development for Lowry. "By partnering with CODEplus, we are able to offer a valuable software component as part of our solution set."

CODEplus' RFID Tag & Ship application is designed to generate case and pallet-level RFID tags, produce Advance Shipping Notices (ASNs) and verify that external RFID readers can read the tags produced. In addition, this application associates case-level tags to corresponding pallet-level tags.

"CODEplus' Tag & Ship system is a turn-key RFID-compliant solution that meets current and emerging DoD RFID mandates," said Jinan AbouShakra, CODEplus President and CEO. "Teaming with Lowry provides DoD suppliers immediate access to a compliant solution."
