RFID in the military - equipment records, logistics and identification

The most common RFID applications in logistics and record-keeping

RFID is useful where assets need to be counted and verified quickly, and where issue and return histories need to be maintained. Group reading reduces time and confusion.

• Records of equipment and assets (asset tracking).
• Inventory of warehouses, depots and bunkers.
• Issues/returns and kit picking.
• Tracking of carriers (containers, boxes, pallets).

Tags for harsh conditions: metal, impact, temperature

In practice, many objects are metal or work in harsh environments. For metal, on-metal tags are used, and the design is selected for resistance and mounting.

• On-metal tags for metal equipment and boxes.
• Durable solutions: mechanical and environmental resistance.
• UHF labels for packaging and logistics documentation.

Reading points: handhelds and control zones

Most often, it starts with handhelds for inventory and issue control. Control zones can be built at selected points to record the flow.

• Handheld: quick inventory and completeness checks.
• Positions: issue/return and verification of kits.
• Zones/gates: a record of resource movement at key points.

Integration and data: serialization, reports and auditing

RFID gives an identifier and an event. Consistent serialization and reporting make auditing and control easier. We offer tag encoding and encoding reports.

• EPC serialization and coding report.
• Mapping identifier to resource and event history.
• Reports of nonconformities and deficiencies.
