We are Franwell, Inc., a Florida corporation determined to set new standards of excellence for supply chain industries. We have a 20 year software development history behind us, with more than ten years focused on RFID technology. Technology Partners and VARs.

The Franwell team has a combined total of 63 years direct experience with agricultural produce industry and food manufacturing. We plan to stay at the leading edge of new technology while retaining solid programming practices that prove adaptable to the ever-changing challenges of software development. Our goal is to see our RFID expertise benefit the food industry, in particular.

Although the diversity of software programs and services we offer reflects our varied interests, we are committed to provide the best products available for the agricultural and perishable food industry. Our Agware logistics and supply chain system is adaptable for any agribusiness from growers, packers, and shippers to food brokers, food distributors, and food processors. We write industry specific software that works the way you want it to.

Our rfid> Genesis, system is a standalone "slap and ship" application that has been integrated with AGware, as well as other systems. It has been used for research and demonstration purposes, as well as for supply chain packaging operations and pharmaceuticals

Franwell offers our clients the most advanced means of strengthening their operations and closing the gap that, historically, has kept the agricultural industry fairly remote from the technological achievements of other commercial industries. We believe not only in making the best technology available, but also in making it affordable and easy to implement.

Ideas that were once thought impossible are now established as normal business practices. If you are looking for a technology company that is forward-thinking and unbound by tradition, yet firmly rooted in timeless practicality, take a look at Franwell.

Whether you are a small company or a large enterprise with multiple locations, rfid> Genesis has proven itself capable of adapting to a wide variety of corporations in various industries. Franwell has restructured our pricing to offer the most cost-effective system available, enabling low-volume suppliers to be on track with their larger counterparts.

Franwell's mobile RFID Commissioning (Shipping) and Compliance Cart Solutions are unique RFID hardware units that contain all the equipment necessary to run our rfid> Genesis system. Mobility of the Franwell shipping station is both a convenience and an advantage, especially for use in a warehouse or manufacturing environment when portals at multiple dock doors are not practical. (All RFID Commissioning and Compliance Solutions contain a version of rfid> Genesis software with various options available.)  View Standard Cart photos.

 

 

RFID LAB for the extensive testing phase of an RFID system deployment

rfid> Discovery
Franwell rfid> Discovery  is a packaged RFID lab. RFID is an emerging technology that requires an extensive testing phase during deployment. rfid> Discovery enables complete testing of multiple RFID hardware and peripherals.

Item level track and trace RFID system especially suitable for pharmaceuticals

rfid> Trace

Franwell rfid> Trace™ (item-level tracing system) enables RFID applications for sensitive, hazardous, or controlled substances in diverse industries, such as pharmaceuticals, weaponry, explosives and other operations requiring a high level of item traceability. This RFID software system makes use of the data flow between the manufacturing source, distribution center, and retailers for pedigree verification.

Franwell rfid> Tote Portal™ (the equipment developed to enable practical retail use of RFID requirements for pharmaceuticals) is a store portal that houses RFID hardware. This compact unit consists of the requisite hardware enclosed in a durable molded plastic RFID portal. The encased RFID equipment is designed to fit conveniently and unobtrusively in a pharmacy/store setting. The portal is both rugged and practical while meeting the sensitivity requirements to accurately read the individually tagged controlled substances containers placed within each tote. (Patent Pending)

When the Franwell Tote Portal is integrated with an EPC compliant RFID system, such as Franwell's rfid> Trace™, the tag verification process assures that the integrity of orders has not been compromised from manufacturing to distribution.
