NCR Corporation recently appointed AIDC Solutions Ltd as its Pan-European channel partner for NCR's automatic identification and data collection (AIDC) solutions. Under the agreement, AIDC Solutions Ltd will resell the NCR TransitionWorks software portfolio to businesses in the consumer goods manufacturing, distribution and retailing industries.

The NCR TransitionWorks software development platform enables users to design, deploy and manage business solutions that leverage radio frequency identification (RFID), bar-code scanning, biometrics and other auto-id technologies. It simplifies the infrastructure required to enter, capture and cleanse data and update all pertinent systems across LAN, WAN, WiFi and mobile networks. AIDC Solutions Ltd is launching the newest version of the product into Europe. NCR TransitionWorks 5.2 includes new device integration and graphical process modeling functionality.

AIDC Solutions Ltd Operations Director David Myers said, "Demand for robust, secure asset-tracking solutions is driving growth in the auto-id and data collection market globally. AIDC Solutions Ltd, in alliance with NCR, is in a unique position to offer sophisticated, customized solutions at off-the-shelf prices to this rapidly expanding market."

Myers continued, "Learning a new software platform to develop AIDC applications can take a developer several months. NCR TransitionWorks greatly reduces that cycle time."

NCR also offers a portfolio of predefined "accelerator" software packages which can be quickly deployed to meet an organization's operational needs. One of these packages is NCR Asset Visibility, which enables organizations to track the location and utilization of key assets and notify the user of pre-defined activities and events by e-mail, fax or text. It can be used as a standalone application or it can be integrated with other solutions including enterprise resource planning, maintenance and tool crib, warehouse management, or manufacturing and quality control systems.

AIDC Solutions Ltd is reselling NCR AIDC software directly in the UK. It has an established network of reseller partners in Europe but is looking to expand its representation in France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic. NCR AIDC Solutions Group Vice President and General Manager Donna A. Wright said,

"AIDC Solutions Ltd is a leading integrator with expertise in multiple AIDC technologies including RFID and bar code devices as well as mobile computing. I'm delighted that a company of such stature is working with NCR."
