Savi has received orders from two major US defense agencies for high-performance, data-rich, active RFID tags.
The orders are a continuation of Savi’s 28 years supporting the Department of Defense (DoD) and allied partners’ automatic identification needs. The combined orders of more than 48,000 active RFID tags will join over one million Savi active RFID tags currently deployed by the DoD and international militaries around the world.
“These orders continue to signal strong support for the use of active RFID devices within the in-transit visibility network,” said Rosemary Johnston, SVP of operations, Savi Technology. “Through improved visibility, the DoD and international military logisticians are able to make timely decisions on parts availability for critical weapon system maintenance, and timely delivery of food, clothing, munitions, and fuel without the need to order ‘just in case’ safety stocks.”
Savi is currently the sole provider for the DoD RFID-IV contract (#W52P1J-14-D-0014), which has a $102 million ceiling and is in its second and final option year.
As the government considers requirements for the upcoming RFID-V contract, Savi is offering new IoT sensors that quickly communicate RFID information anywhere in the world using cellular transmission capabilities, no infrastructure required. Adding these next-generation sensors to the existing active RFID support will allow the DoD to improve their ability to mitigate risk, reduce excess inventory and streamline asset management for greater efficiency and in-theater effectiveness.
