Savi Technology and IFS Defence will partner to provide information solutions for the aerospace and defense market.
The partners will integrate Savi's radio frequency identification (RFID) systems with IFS' Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, which is touted as improving planning, decision-making and performance when transporting assets and consignments across the extended supply chain, said Savi.
With more accurate and timely information, the combined solution is designed to help reduce lead times and stock holdings, prioritize consignments and ensure that the right supplies are delivered to the right place on time, according to Savi.
The integrated solution is promoted as meeting the growing demands of the defense industry to improve the end-to-end, in-transit visibility and delivery of consignments in less time and at reduced costs across extended supply chains, said Savi.
The Savi SmartChain Consignment Management Solution (CMS) is designed to track and manage consignments tagged with RFID tags and other types of Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) devices including bar codes, sensors and global positioning systems.
In addition to identification and location information, CMS is designed to provide automated alerts, environmental conditions and analytics, said Savi.
