Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has evolved as a major technology enabler for tracking goods and assets around the world. ITS have been implementing RFID solutions in the supply chain since 1988. Using RFID ITS can help logistics providers to locate expensive equipment more quickly, increase security and improve the management of moveable assets. ITS can also provide efficiencies in the supply chain by tracking goods at any point in the process, from the point of manufacture through to the retail point of sale (POS).

Not only can RFID be utilised in traditional supply chain and access control applications, ITS can also employ RFID in wider areas such as asset tracking and management. With the ability to store several thousand bytes of data in addition to the ‘number plate’ identifier solutions can provide a form of mass distributed database. ITS can also apply RFID in conjunction with other technologies to remotely sense objects, to determine their identity, track their position and detect properties such as pressure, temperature and tampering. ITS can provide increased labour productivity gains through data and process automation and have extensive experience in the application of RFID, GPS and access technology within an industrial and mobile environment.

The relatively low cost and good return on investment (ROI) allows a high degree of customisation of solutions to meet client’s specific needs. ITS can provide solutions for stock identification, unit-load tracking, automated logging of vehicles on / off and around site, access control, asset monitoring and many other logistics based applications.
