 Xterprise Incorporated, the leading global supplier of Solutions for the High

announced today it has been awarded its third contract with Schoeller Arca
Systems (SAS) (http://www.schoellerarcasystems.com) for its Automated RFID
Module(XARM(TM)) 6000 high volume source tagging solution. The XARM(TM) 6000
solution will be used in-line with manufacturing at SAS to embed RFID tags

integrated RFID tags. In addition to RFID capabilities, the SAS pallets
andRTIs meet key European Union and United States mandated pedigree, safety, and
waste requirements.

serviceproviders, consumer packaged goods manufacturers and pallet pooling
organizations," said Ludo Gielen, Product Manager at Schoeller Arca Systems.
"These SmartCarriers(R) have revolutionized the shipping industry by providing a
transport platform that contains both products and information."

    "SAS has determined that by embedding RFID tags into the RTIs and managing
them
with the Xterprise suite of Solutions for the High Definition Enterprise(TM),
they
have created a unique and highly differentiated RTI product offering," said
Doug Wallace, COO of Xterprise. "We have worked closely with the SAS team to
insure the highest quality of RFID enabled RTI product for our mutual client,
a major manufacturer of plastic pallets."

    The Xterprise XARM application includes encodes and quality management
components
that have been deemed best-in-class for RTI RFID source tagging. The solution is
built using the latest technology from Microsoft which offers flexibility,
scalability and dependability at the lowest total cost of ownership.
