Kidding about the title...sort of.

I was having a conversation recently with one of our partners who was relating a story of the efforts involved in upgrading their website. The timing was good because we have recently spent a significant effort doing some technology updates on our site as well. During the conversation it occurred to me that, once again, we share the same problems that our customers and partners face. I thought I would share what we are doing and some of the insights regarding how we are doing it.

Your symbol mobile computers may encounter a difficulty when first connecting to wireless access points from other manufacturers. You may already have received an error when trying to set up a connection profile that states something similar to the following message: "The profile you are trying to connect to may not connect due to regulatory rules."

If you are already reading this, you have learned that we have introduced blogging into our site here. Why? Well, if you are still reading this, then it proves that we might better reach current and potential customers by blathering on usefully about various topics. We are often sought after for help or guidance regarding inventory or the technology to manage it. Our plan is to share what we have learned as we run across it, and a blog provides us with the perfect format to do so.

We have recently posted a demonstration video of our PanatrackerGP solution and would love to hear feedback (good and bad). Please drop up a note or give us a call. Access the video here.

Michael Burnham of Panatrack presented a workshop session entitled "Automating Your Supply Chain with Auto-ID Applications: Barcoding and RFID" at the conference.  Manufacturing Matters! is the only conference focused exclusively on the needs of small and midsize manufacturers in Wisconsin. It offered an unequaled opportunity for business owners to network, exchange best practices, and share tools for building better, stronger businesses in the face of global competition.This year's program featured over 30 interactive workshops, as well as keynote speeches by nationally acclaimed innovation authority Dr. Oren Harari and small business growth expert Steven S. Little.

Panatrack recently conducted a hands-on lab for the workshop "RFID: From Strategy to Implementation" at the UW-Madison campus. Michael Burnham demonstrated the PanatrackerRT product as an example of the convenient power of mobile RFID applications. This is the third year of Panatrack's participation. This workshop helps individuals involved in assessment, planning, and implementation and deployment of RFID solutions.
