Routing Hub Will Provide Unprecedented Visibility of RFID-tracked Consignments Moving Through National and Multinational Supply Chains
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Sept. 13, 2010 –Savi Technology, a Lockheed Martin Company [NYSE: LMT], today announced that the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) has launched a network exchange hub that allows NATO and coalition forces to share information on supply shipments more efficiently and effectively. The Routing Hub will foster greater multinational collaboration by facilitating the exchange of information using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-tracked consignments moving through military supply chains.
Deployed at the NAMSA headquarters in Luxembourg, the Routing Hub transmits data from Savi’s interoperable RFID-based logistics network, which automatically locates, tracks and manages in-transit NATO material. Nations connected to the Routing Hub at NAMSA can directly transmit logistics data to other users, providing enhanced levels of real-time asset visibility. (more…)
