The company’s Consignment Management Solution (CMS) provides near
real-time information on the location of supplies through a network of RFID readers linked to enterprise-level, decision-support software.
CMS is based on NATO asset tracking standards that enables it to be
interoperable with NATO-allied defence forces.
As a result, both national and multi-national consignments can be tracked and managed through networks operated by multiple defence forces when using the standards-based solution, Savi says.
Consignments tagged with active, battery-powered RFID devices are
monitored by fixed and mobile readers, while the CMS software platform enables users to manage the consignments while in-transit throughout their supply chain journey.
