Delivering Continuous Operational Capability for Military RFID Networks
Active and passive RFID networks have become an essential part of modern military supply chain operations. The use of RFID and the resulting reduction in materiel and supply chain assets is one of the major factors improving the management of military supply chains in general, and in particular, the deployment of military forces beyond their homeland supply chain infrastructure. The availability of the RFID devices within the network is therefore a critical success factor for military supply chains. Existing IT infrastructures do not have the capability and functions to properly manage RFID devices such as readers and signposts.
Savi SmartChain® Enterprise Platform meets the needs of RFID networks by being able to self discover and register RFID devices, assign business processes to devices and locations, maintain health and availability checks, manage firmware upgrades across all devices in the network and store, filter, validate and forward the real-time data collected from the RFID network. If there are operational issues within the network, the SmartChain Platform's real-time control panels, alerts, and reports equip IT staff to manage and maintain the network to the very high levels of availability required to support military operations.
