How do Savants work?
The Auto-ID Center designed Savants to act as the nervous system of the network. Savants are different from most enterprise software in that it isn’t one overarching application. Instead, it uses a distributed architecture and is organized in a hierarchy that manages the flow of data. There will be Savants running in stores, distribution centers, regional offices, factories, perhaps even on trucks and in cargo planes. Savants at each level will gather, store and act on information and interact with other Savants.
