SAVI Technology have launched their new GlobalTag asset and shipment monitoring device.
According to the company, the hybrid ST-694 GlobalTag is the first monitoring device to combine active RFID, GPS, and satellite communications technology, offering users nearly continuous monitoring and precise location information of supply chain assets, including areas lacking a land-based reader infrastructure.
Savi said the GlobalTag offers a cost-efficient solution for customers looking for continuous in-transit visibility of shipments and mobile supply chain assets, such as transport vehicles, container shipments or large and valuable equipment.
The device is also particularly suited to the defense industry, both military and private sector, and in the commercial shipping market.
Savi said the device spans visibility across existing RFID networks and into remote areas where traditional active RFID infrastructure is not practical, such as desert military bases or offshore oil and gas rigs.
The device was designed in cooperation with the Numerex Corporation.
The partnership between Savi and Numerex, with the explicit goal of developing the GlobalTag technology, was announced earlier this year.
