There are three aspects to an ideal shipping container security system: seals, tracking devices, and sensors. Currently, physical seals and tracking devices are the only two aspects utilized in the shipping industry. The tracking systems currently in place vary from paper manifests to an integration of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) which enables stakeholders to know the exact location of a container which is within the line of sight of the sensors. When on a ship, ....

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has come to denote system solutions for tracking and tracing objects both globally and locally using RFID tags. RFID is one of several technologies collectively known as Auto-ID procedures - procedures for identifying objects automatically. It bridges the gaps to IT systems that were previously bridged by manual data entry. This white paper provides an overview of the numerous application-related and technical aspects of RFID systems. It shows that even in ....

January 2008-
Most of the people among the many consumer-goods manufacturers and suppliers to the DoD have questions regarding the stability of the Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) labels? With vendor charge-backs for incomprehensible RFID labels an impending likelihood, concerns about RFID label durability during the shipping process are substantial. Despite the prevalence of internal laboratory testing that quickly validates readability of RFID labels prior to shipment, there is very little published data accessible on the end outcome ....

January 2008-
Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) has always been considered a forward-looking technology. Today, most of the focus is on how emerging Electronic Product Code (EPC) RFID tags can help connects trading partners and aligns supply chains. However, to see the immediate benefits RFID can provide, manufacturers should look inward at their operation’s own business processes, not forward into just supply chain customer’s compliance requirements. RFID provides a quick return on investment in many factory and warehousing ....
