Transportation and Logistics

As technological and political barriers continue to fall, transportation will continue to be the center of the world economy. Freight carriers must simultaneously manage multiple incoming and outgoing shipments from multiple warehouses in multiple localities to multiple clients in the most cost effective manner. Successful companies must process and deliver high volumes of orders quickly and cheaply by optimizing their fleet, routing, and scheduling while reducing paperwork, errors, and bottlenecks. They must have the ability to track cargo throughout the process and share this information with customers and partners in real time.

As the supply chain is increasingly globalized, complying with regulatory polices of various countries will be crucial to transporters success. RFID can reduce turnaround time at a shipping yard by enabling tagged trailers to be located instantly and directing carriers to the proper space to pick up or drop off a load. epcSolutions provides real time auditing of each item and event in the supply chain so carriers, logistic partners, and distributers can track their orders in real time. Workers using handheld RFID readers can find out the contents of tagged containers and receive instructions on where to take them. Knowing what is arriving when helps companies manage dock scheduling efficiently and reduces shrinkage as readers scan and account for all pallets during the loading and unloading process.

Leveraging industry leading networking expertise, epcSolutions allows customers to roll-out RFID technology over IP networks that are scalable, resilient, manageable, and secure. epcSolutions’ SensorOS infrastructure is distributed over a network of edge servers that have been optimized to run RFID applications by linking business transaction networks and global data synchronization networks with product tracking networks.  epcSolutions provides real time auditing of each item and event in the supply chain so every process and transaction can be monitored at a click of a mouse.
