DEFENSE

According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, 13 federal agencies are already using or plan to deploy RFID technology. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), has mandated RFID's use across its suppliers for increased supply chain visibility and improved forecasting. Other national governments, meanwhile, are evaluating similar initiatives.

Leveraging RFID to deliver the right materials in the right condition at the right time is a critical part of End-to-End Warfighter Support:

• The military and its suppliers gain a more accurate picture of consumption and are better able to reduce stock-outs of critical materials
• Logisticians and warfighters on the ground are able to make better informed decisions on which supplies to move first and where
• Duplicate orders are minimized, logisticians can be more responsive, and new confidence is instilled into the supply chain

Rugged, reliable and flexible

Alien Technology provides high performance RFID systems-cost-effective, rugged and reliable-to drive new efficiencies throughout the military supply chain. Alien provides both EPC and Battery Assisted Passive (BAP) RFID tags and readers to meet a variety of defense requirements, including longer range asset tracking andmonitoring of environmentally sensitive materials such as rations and medical supplies.

Knowledgeable engagements

Each supply chain within the DoD-Army, Navy, Marine, etc.-has its own requirements for RFID implementation. Alien collaborates with its customers, as well as with a range of partners, to design systems that meet particular application needs. We also supply a RFID-Ready Kit for DoD Compliance-comprising the hardware, training, services and information needed for successful planning and deployment of RFID-and are experienced with working with both large and small suppliers to the DoD.

Global implementations

Alien RFID systems are also global-ready, meaning that we provide products to meet regional regulatory requirements for UHF RFID, from North America to Europe to Asia/Pacific. If you need a solution for multiple sites worldwide, Alien can provide a reliable and interoperable system.
