Management and Security of Supply Chain Assets and Contents …
as they move through global supply chains.
History
Founded in 1989, acquired by Texas Instruments (1995), then Raytheon(1997), management buy-out (1999).
Solutions
Real time managements & security of goods in the supply chain from factory to foxhole, supplier to retailer
Evolution
Hardware Active tag vendor -> Global Systems Integration and Enterprise Software
Defense logistics -> Global Commercial Supply Chain
RFID Technology
Over 10 years of proven experience in commercial and DoD RFID applications
Commercial and military applications in over 50 countries
Container and Cargo Tracking/Security : TAV, SST, OSC (Starbucks, Canadian Tire, Vitra)
In-facility Asset Tracking : CCAD, SARS
Reusable container management : Woolworths, Envirotainer, Spoornet
Partnerships with major global port operators
Represent 70% of goods shipped via ocean into the US (HPH, PSA, P&O, China Merchant and Kaoshung)
Implementing container tracking and security infrastructure
This is to show in graphics how the unique technologies as mentioned in the previous slides, if implemented synergistically from the front to the back-end, will undoubted integrate information flow, transforming inventory into intelligent information for a transparent, real-time management and security of supply chain assets and their contents as they move through global supply chains.

4. Commercial Initiative Smart Secure Tradelanes™ (SST)
Global Security Network – Initial Implementations in 2002/2003
Business Problem: Low visibility to security status and location of ISO Container movements
Solution: Transportation Security provides baseline capability in container security consistent with government requirements Synchronize with CSI, OSC, C-TPAT, as well as the 24 Hour Advance Manifest Information Rule
Project Brief: SST is a private/public initiative to help secure the global supply chain. Initiated by Strategic Council of Security Technology
Lessons Learned: Viable global solution. Value of information extends beyond security to enable better supply chain management.
72 Participants and Partners representing 70% of US Ocean Container Imports, including:
16 Ports
11 Tradelanes
20+ Shippers
4 times ROI in Phase I

6. Global Commercial Implementations
UK Retailer : Tag all dollies (20,000+) and track their movement from DC to Retail store
2nd largest railroad outside of the United States - owning or operating 80 percent of the freight rail system in Africa
CCAD Item Tracking System
Annually, there are approximately 250,000 parts going through 151 shops
Savi provides Inventory and Item-Level Tracking of aircraft parts using active RFID tags
Wireless Network of Readers record part arrival and departure at each shop
Savi Item Tracking Database manages Item Location and Inventory
Envirotainer operates 3,000 temperature-controlled ULDs, servicing 60 international airports in over 35 countries

7. Conveyance Types Across Supply Chain
Supply chain has small objects at either end and big objects (containers) in the middle.
Shipper and retailer lose track of their goods in the middle.
Long range technology is needed for this ‘middle’ transportation domain.
Short range small asset technologies at either end.

PALLET

TRANSPORT UNIT
Describe chart – axes –
In studing the SC we see that
SC has small objects at beginning and end and large in middle
Commercial Shippers lose track of their goods in the middle of the SC
If you want to order goods based on stock levels at the destination, you need to know whats in the middle.
We targeted infrastructure to solve the middle of the SC problems first - Requires a tech that works globally
Once we know this, its easy to integrate at either end.

8. The Right Technology for the Right Conveyance
Selection Considerations
Global operation – frequency selection
High metal environment
Flexibility
Signal Penetration
Transaction rates/speed
Tag density per reader
Long range vs resolution
Long life – power consumption
High data storage
Cost
Size
Mounting location and RF visibility
Commercial availability
Environmental robustness
Reliability
Ease of use
Communications
Networkability

1) ISO has grouped SC into logistic unit hierarchy
2) Each type of object has different properties and is handheld differently
3) Each type of object requires a different technology

9. Regulatory /Spectrum Issues
433Mhz for RFID
Good RF Characteristics :
Good penetration and propagation with reasonable antenna size
Widest Global acceptability
One of the few Frequencies acceptable for RFID both in the US AND EUROPE. Rest of the world tends to harmonize with one or the other.
De facto standard for DoD in more than 45 countries
Exceptions : Japan, China, Korea – now opening this for RFID.
General Design
RFID devices are short range devices - by design
Good sharing of spectrum is necessary even for our own devices.
Specific Areas for Improvement
Rule change on duty cycle, allowing longer transmissions durations for RFID, is a key change. The FCC Recently increased duration of transmissions in port environments for greater data transfers. This would allow container manifests to be uploaded and downloaded much faster.
Any assistance in getting ITU and other National bodies to embrace similar regulation will be very welcome.
Overall
FCC has been very open to helping RFID industry provide value to their customers while sharing spectrum.
As our customers request more features, we would like to continue to work with the FCC in enabling those capabilities.
