Business Solutions Team

Unique Micro Design's (UMD's) Business Solutions Team supports Resellers and Customers in the design and deployment of edgeware solutions including RFID and Intelligent Sensor Networks.

Edgeware Solutions provide data capture and interfacing of fixed and mobile devices in and around the "edge" of the enterprise system that provides the man to machine interface. (terminal interface)

Due to the growing complexity of "edgeware" and integration issues, specialised skills are required to collect, manage and interface data between terminal devices and the enterprise software application.

Much of the work requires unique knowledge and skills in terminal devices, protocols, interfacing, networking, wireless, physics and electronics!

This can be summarized by UMD's engineering ICT solutions skills, which reflect our ability to:

  • Design and modify electronic terminal products
  • Source and integrate terminal products from UMD's key agencies
  • Support through UMD's professional, software and support services: to meet customer specific needs.

Solution Sets

UMD's Edgeware solution offering can be divided into five solution sets (similar to Lines of Business). Each solution set combines a range of products, technology and Application Development Platforms, that can be customised to meet customer specific needs.

Solution Sets include:

  • Access Control Systems
  • Inventory Control Systems
  • Asset Management Systems
  • Point Of Service Systems
  • Payment Technologies & Platforms
