central server unit to RFID label printing devices at the users'
facilities and/or connection means connecting the central server unit to
RFID data reading devices located at the users' and/or their business
partners' facilities at points of interest; handling and coordinating
communications between the central server unit and the printing devices
and/or the central server unit and the reading devices by the central
server unit and controlling processes of the printing devices and/or the
central server unit directly or indirectly by the central server unit,
whereas the mentioned communications and process are remotely initiated
by the users via the clients; handling and coordinating communications
between the central server unit and the reading devices by the central
server unit and controlling processes of the central server unit and/or
the reading devices directly or indirectly by the central server unit,
whereas the mentioned communications and processes are remotely initiated
by the users via the clients; as well as systems and computer program
products for realizing these methods.
