SETU™ is one of the most evolved approaches to solution development in the RFID space that incorporates debuting features for advanced business functionalities.
SETU™, conceived on the SkandSoft CONQUER Approach, is a strategic and organic evolution of future business requirements in software, unlike many current offerings in this segment, which are reactions to the mandate driven RFID space, and thereby limited by their reactionary nature.
Outlined below are the unique features of SETU™ which makes it most obvious for a RFID environment of today which very soon would grow to accommodate other automatic data capture technologies.
Functional Features
| Feature |
Benefit |
| Advanced Reader Discovery |
Ease of installation with Automatic Discovery, also functions as continuity monitor |
| RFID Grid |
Contextual visualization of readers installed |
| Central Remote Console |
Single console for remote (LAN/WAN) configuring, operating and managing health parameters of disparate devices |
| Dynamic UI |
UI for burning tags can be custom defined by the user dynamically and assigned to a specific type of object for reuse |
| Multiple Association Models |
Ease of using multiple association models based on the context (pallets-cases-items/employees-assets/passenger-baggage) Option for Automated Association - pre-assigned objects can be associated automatically during movement through doors etc. |
| Data Validity Checks |
Cross-referencing data points at each stage in the process |
| Hardware vendor/type/
standard Independent |
Addresses ISO/EPC and various hardware vendor types, transparent to the user. Investment Protection. |
| Single Platform From Multiple
AIDC Devices To Enterprise
Applications |
Address disparate AIDC technologies like Bar Code, RFID, GSM, Wi-Fi, NFC, Wi-Max and Blue Tooth, Integrated approach for optimum efficiency |
| Application Flexibility |
Any application can be defined and mapped to the RFID network by business users themselves |
| Work Flow Definition |
Ease of defining business process and rules |
| Session based Multiple Client access
- Web enabled, PDA and
mobile phones. |
Real Time, easy and ubiquitous access to data. Control business processes and access reports from any of these clients remotely |
| Role Based Reporting |
Personal portals allow internal and external users to interact, intra and inter organization within the set limits and context. |
| Process Monitoring and Enforcement |
Internal processes (ISO etc) can be mapped to RFID grid and be monitored for compliance. |

Technical Features
| Feature |
Benefit |
| Selective Data Treatment |
Optimal use of collected data in various applications like ERP, SCM, SCE, BI and Data Analytics. |
| Dynamic Thresholding |
Qualify data inputs in Real Time on the basis of historical behavior. |
| Progressive Event Filtering |
Only relevant data is acted upon while ensuring that critical events are not missed out. |
| Multi-layered Architecture |
Flexibility to accommodate movements in market (new mandates), technology (a different RF technology - e.g., SAW) or standards (e.g., EPC C1G3?) |
| Modular |
Achieved by micro end-user customization - reduced cost of deployments and faster time to deploy. |
| Self Governing |
Optional self-correcting control and SNMP based internal monitoring - reduced down times. |
| Open Source Platform With
Proprietary Options |
Reduced TCO, high flexibility, security and adaptability to multiple software and database environments. |

Better data accuracy and criticality by ensuring minimal misreads, high tolerance, high anti-collision etc. |
| Integration With
Convergent Technologies |
Enhance process control and efficiency by integrating with technologies like GIS and GPS. |
| Multiple Integration
Methodologies - XML, API, JCA etc. |
Integration with existing applications like HRMS, workflow engines, reporting modules is straightforward. |
| Custom Data Analytics |
Custom-defined data treatment. |
| Self-Learning Rule Base |
Knowledge base of process-breach conditions and remedies that is updated with inputs from historical behavior. |
| Lateral Flexibility |
Implement Real Time feedback with industrial control systems like PLCs, SCADA, DDA etc. - Single point of information access across the enterprise |
