Schaumburg, IL, June 25 (PRNewswire)—Savi Technology, a provider of RFID-based total asset management solutions and services, and IFS Defense have announced that they will partner to provide integrated real-time information solutions for the aerospace and defense market. The RFID-Enhanced Software Suite will improve visibility, accuracy, and performance of in-transit assets and consignments throughout defense supply chains. The announcement was made at the Paris Air Show.
The partners will integrate Savi's RFID systems with IFS's ERP software, which will improve planning, decision making, and performance when transporting assets and consignments across the extended supply chain—from factory to foxhole. With more accurate and timely information, the combined solution will help reduce lead times and stock holdings, prioritize consignments, and ensure that the right supplies are delivered to the right place on time.
The integrated solution will meet growing demands of the defense industry to improve the end-to-end, in-transit visibility and delivery of consignments in less time and at reduced cost across increasingly extended supply chains.
The Savi SmartChain Consignment Management Solution is designed to automatically track and manage consignments tagged with RFID tags and other types of Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) devices, including bar codes, sensors, and global positioning systems. In addition to identification and location information, CMS provides automated alerts, environmental conditions, and analytics.
