Lowry Solutions Announces Key Partnership at GS1 Connect

For Immediate Release Brighton, MI—June 4, 2018—Lowry Solutions announced today that it is showing a working demonstration of the Alien Technology F800X with Emissary, combined with the SensThys Hydra array, at its booth at the GS1 Connect Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, from June 4 to 7, 2018. GS1 Connect is a global conference for the GS1 US® member-based information standards organization. Lowry Solutions prides itself on being a rapid adopter of Alien passive RFID readers, the Emissary Software, the Hydra Platform, and related advances made possible by Alien Technology solutions.

“We are excited to see the evolution of IoT with innovative solutions such as Sonaria from Lowry Solutions combined with the revolutionary ALR-F800-X with Emissary series managing not only real-world supply chain data but also a suite of hardware capturing data, all managed in real time and at the speed of commerce,” stated Steven R. Schauer, Marketing Director, Alien Technology. “Alien Technology has been a great partner of ours in the RFID solutions arena. We are excited to be able to showcase the full effect of this partnership at this event,” replied Mike Lowry, Lowry Solutions’s CEO.

What This Partnership Means for Enterprise RFID Innovation

The collaboration highlighted at GS1 Connect demonstrates how modern RFID solutions have evolved beyond standalone hardware deployments. Today’s enterprises require connected ecosystems that bring together intelligent readers, advanced antenna technologies, enterprise software, and real-time analytics into a single operational framework. By combining these technologies, organizations can capture more accurate data, process information faster, and make better operational decisions.

Rather than viewing RFID as a simple identification technology, businesses are increasingly adopting integrated platforms that support inventory management, asset visibility, supply chain traceability, and workflow automation. The technologies showcased by Lowry Solutions and its partners represent this next generation of enterprise data collection, where hardware and software operate together to create continuous operational visibility.

Delivering More Than Data Collection

An effective RFID deployment is about transforming raw data into actionable business intelligence. Every tagged asset, pallet, container, or product generates valuable information that can improve operational performance when captured and processed in real time.

Integrated RFID environments help organizations:

• Monitor inventory movement automatically
• Improve asset accountability
• Reduce manual scanning activities
• Increase inventory accuracy
• Support automated exception reporting
• Improve shipping and receiving verification
• Strengthen product traceability throughout the supply chain

When these capabilities are combined with centralized software platforms, organizations gain immediate access to operational insights that support faster and more informed decision-making.

Why Technology Integration Matters

Many businesses already utilize barcode systems, warehouse management software, or enterprise resource planning platforms. The challenge often lies in connecting these systems with newer RFID technologies without disrupting existing workflows.

Lowry Solutions focuses on integrating multiple technologies into a unified environment where data moves seamlessly across enterprise systems. Instead of requiring organizations to replace their existing infrastructure, integrated RFID solutions can complement current operations while expanding visibility across facilities, warehouses, and distribution networks.

This integration approach allows organizations to:

• Maintain a single source of operational data
• Reduce duplicate data entry
• Improve reporting accuracy
• Automate routine business processes
• Increase visibility across multiple locations
• Support future technology expansion

A connected technology ecosystem enables businesses to scale their operations while maintaining consistent and reliable information throughout the organization.

Demonstrating Real-World Performance

Industry events such as GS1 Connect provide an opportunity to move beyond product specifications and demonstrate how technologies perform under realistic operating conditions. Live demonstrations allow organizations to evaluate complete workflows that reflect everyday business operations.

By showcasing integrated RFID solutions in action, attendees can better understand how different technologies interact during common operational processes, including:

• Inventory receiving
• Warehouse storage
• Asset movement
• Shipping verification
• Production tracking
• Distribution workflows

These demonstrations illustrate how connected hardware and software solutions can reduce manual intervention while improving operational speed and accuracy.

Supporting Industry Standards and Interoperability

One of the key advantages of participating in GS1 Connect is the emphasis on industry standards that promote interoperability across global supply chains. Standardized identification methods enable organizations to exchange information more efficiently while maintaining consistent product and asset data across suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and customers.

By aligning RFID solutions with recognized industry standards, businesses can:

• Improve supply chain collaboration
• Simplify product identification
• Enhance traceability initiatives
• Support compliance requirements
• Enable smoother technology integration
• Reduce implementation complexity

Standards-based solutions also provide greater flexibility as organizations expand operations or adopt additional tracking technologies in the future.

Accelerating Digital Transformation

Modern supply chains generate enormous volumes of operational data every day. Successfully managing that information requires more than collecting data—it requires systems capable of organizing, analyzing, and delivering meaningful insights to business users.

Integrated RFID solutions contribute to digital transformation by automating information capture and reducing dependence on manual processes. This enables employees to spend less time recording data and more time responding to operational priorities.

Organizations implementing connected RFID environments often experience improvements in:

These improvements support more efficient operations while providing leadership teams with accurate data for planning and continuous improvement initiatives.
