Zebra Technologies has announced that it has developed a device service provider interface which allows plug-and-play capability of Zebra RFID products into the Microsoft BizTalk RFID platform.

By building a device provider that is compatible with BizTalk RFID, Zebra printers can easily be discovered, configured and managed by Windows-based tools.

This enables Zebra’s RFID products to connect seamlessly with the Windows environment via the Microsoft BizTalk RFID platform. Zebra’s RFID products, combined with Microsoft BizTalk RFID, provide users with a host of benefits including faster and easier device integration.

Zebra RFID printer/encoders provide error-free programming of RFID tags or smart labels that can wirelessly transmit to RFID reader devices. Zebra RFID products that support BizTalk RFID include R110Xi, R110Xi HF, R170Xi, R4Mplus and R110Pax4.
