Integrated Retail Module Rollout

Abstract

This paper presents a summary of the results of the Apparel Research Networks (ARN) installation providing for the development and implementation of the Integrated Retail Module (IRM) at Ft. Jackson, Columbia. SC. The IRM solution ties together: (1) the Virtual Item Manager-Wholesale Local (VIM-WL) web based inventory management application; (2) both a wired and wireless network outside the Ft. Jackson Army firewall; (3) electronic forms filing and management with CabinetNG; (4) RF applications with handheld terminals for warehousing data capture; and ultimately. (5) optical character recognition automated issue capture system known as the IRM Control Panel. IRM is part of the ARN solution to reduce military clothing inventories through automated systems for asset visibility at the wholesale, retail and manufacturing levels and balanced flow replenishment.
