Rigorous Government and Industry Field Tests Demonstrate Operational Dependability of Savi’s RFID Products for Smart Asset Management

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Jan. 4, 2011 – Savi Technology’s low-power wireless sensor technology recently demonstrated its operational performance, reliability and accuracy in separate field tests recently conducted by government- and industry-backed authorities. Savi Technology’s passage of the tests provides customers with reinforced confidence in the company’s solutions and the added benefit of third-party performance and reliability certification.

Savi Technology’s products became the first to achieve DASH7 Certified™ status in tests administered by Met Laboratories, an independent testing authority working with DASH7, a non-profit industry consortium that promotes the use of the ISO 18000-7 standard for wireless sensor networking.  Further, Savi’s RFID products were “verified and validated” as compliant with the ISO 18000-7 standard by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), an independent testing authority working on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Fitting RFID to the Business

Earlier this year, I wrote here about the importance of taking an operational “process approach” when designing the best type of Auto ID solution for managing assets.  Whether it’s passive or active RFID or GPS – or a combination of wireless devices – the underlying business application and processes must be understood beforehand.  Otherwise, the implementation just becomes another science experiment.

Here, I want to focus more on how RFID and Auto ID solutions must adapt to each business area’s processes even if they seem to be the same across government and commercial enterprises.  We have discovered over more than two decades of providing Auto ID solutions for supply chain and asset management that wireless solutions must fit the existing process – not the other way around.
