IFS Defense is partnering with Savi Technology to provide real-time information solutions for the aerospace and defense market. The partners will integrate Savi's RFID systems with IFS' ERP software, which they say will improve planning, decision-making and performance when transporting assets and consignments across the extended supply chain.
"Our customers increasingly want to augment their ERP solutions with real-time information across the entire breadth of the supply chain, to optimize cost savings and improve asset availability," says Iain Green, managing director of IFS Defense. "By integrating with the Savi SmartChain Consignment Management Solution, our customers gain a fully supported RFID capability that goes beyond the traditional boundaries of ERP for in-transit visibility."
The Savi solution is designed to automatically track and manage consignments tagged with RFID tags and other types of automatic identification and data collection devices, including barcodes, sensors and global positioning systems. In addition to identification and location information, CMS provides automated alerts, environmental conditions, and analytics.
