BizTalk RFID Processes respond to tag events
raised by devices
Executed by the Event Processing Engine
Scale from simple to complex business tasks
Capable of filtering, alerting, enriching, and
transforming tag events
Brings together logical sources, logical devices,
and event handlers into a logical unit of execution

Process tag events passed through the event
processing pipeline
Filter tag events (terminate processing)
Duplicate events
Multiple sources raise same event
Business rules evaluation
Enrich tag event data
Add custom data to tag event
Cleanse device tag event data
Integrate with other business systems
Insert tag events into a database
Call services to pass on tag events

SQL Server Sink
Stores tag event details in SQL Server
Terminating event handler
Ideal for auditing and debugging tag read events
Rule Engine Policy Executor
Executes Business Rules Engine (BRE) policies from
an event handler
BRE allows you to dynamically create, publish, deploy,
and execute policies without having to stop and restart
running business processes
Ideal for Filtering and/or Enriching tag read events

Abstraction of device handling
Discovery, configuration, communication, and management
Rich RFID event processing model
Design, store, deploy and manage RFID processes
Reduce data ‘noise’ and increase data relevancy
Rules Engine for Filters, Alerts and Transformations
English like vocabularies for rule creation / modification by business user
Inference based generation of events – Ex: ‘Internal Movements’
Robust framework to support agile processes
Rules provide dynamic policy morphing
‘Hot-swap’ of Readers & Processes
Support for transactional execution and failover semantics
Base set of tools for lifecycle management
