Mu Xtended – The Mu Xtended module extends the functions of Mu Manager with a range of common functions (eg states, state rules, security and auditing). These functions are subsequently used across a variety of Mu modules for item level tracking and tracing operations.

Mu Tracker – The Mu Tracker module consists of common functionality developed specifically for the tracking of individual items in the retail industry. Mu Tracker uses the functions implemented in Mu Xtended and Mu Manager to provide functions such as product hierarchies, item location maps and extended product attributes (eg colour, supplier and pricing information).

Mu Read IDs – The Read IDs module allows the user to scan a Mu–chip and use its unique Mu ID to query the database for information on the item and its associated product. If a match is made the product details are displayed along with the item’s state and location history.

Mu ID Matching – The ID Matching module allows users to locate a specific Mu ID from a list of items in the database. This database list is generated according to a user specified search criteria.

Mu Stock Management – The Stock Management module allows users to manipulate and monitor product stock levels on an item and location basis. The module also allows users to perform stock counts and produce various reports (eg stock count reports across different users or reports on food items that may be nearing their expiry date/time).

Mu Production Management – The Production Management module allows Production Schedulers to schedule the manufacture of new items. The schedules are processed by manufacturers where an association function allows them to automatically record multiple Mu IDs and link them with product details.

Mu Inspection – The Inspection module is specifically designed for the Brand Protection industry to help inspectors view the production, location and state details of an item in an attempt to curb the emergence of parallel markets. If a suspect item is detected inspectors can use this module to suspend entire production batches belonging to that item.

Mu Batch IO – The Mu Batch IO module provides the user with the ability to import and export multiple products or items from/to files in various formats (ie XML, comma or tab separated). Products and items can be output to files according to a user specified search criteria.

Mu Distribution – The Mu Distribution module records the bulk movement of items from one location to another. It allows distributors to create and maintain flexible hierarchies where each level represents a movable collection of items (eg pallets, batches, boxes, etc). The distribution hierarchies facilitate the logistical tracking of items between a source and target destination.

Mu Status Change – The Mu Status Change module provides a generic facility that allows user-defined functions to be created which automatically change the status of items whilst adhering to predefined state rules.

Mu Store – The Mu Store Module contains functionality that is common across end-user retail oriented functions (eg administration of payment methods, special offers, support of charge cards, etc). These functions are subsequently used by Mu modules to create powerful RFID enabled applications such as POS devices or Customer Kiosks.

Mu POS – The Mu POS module interfaces with a POS (Point of Sales) device within a sales and refund environment. It allows users to scan items, view pricing and product details, record payment methods and update the status of each item automatically. A complimentary process allows customers to return items where the status of the item can be changed to reflect a refund following verification of the original sale.

Mu Kiosk – The Mu Kiosk module allows an end-user terminal to be set-up in a retail store to enhance the shopping experience of customers. This includes automatically viewing additional information about an RFID enabled item including stock levels and complimentary product suggestions.
