SAVI Networks has struck a deal with Modern Terminals Ltd (MTL) to equip the container operator's facilities in Hong Kong with the SaviTrak information service, in a bid to enhance the security and efficiency of in-transit cargo movement.
The installation of SaviTrak's standards-based Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) infrastructure at Modern Terminals' facilities will automate visibility of RFID-sealed containers and their contents, providing the terminal operator and its customers with real-time location and status information, automated alerts and analytics, a Savi Networks statement said.
"Modern Terminals Limited's important Hong Kong facilities extend the visibility that SaviTrak provides for shippers, carriers and logistics service providers throughout the global supply chain," said Steve Sewell, senior vice president of Savi Networks.
Savi Networks has partnerships with major port and terminal operators to build infrastructure at more than 80 terminals worldwide. The SaviTrak information service is built upon open technologies that process real-time data feeds from RFID devices such as electronic seals that are based on ISO standards.
SaviTrak also receives and processes information from other Automatic Identification and Data Collection technologies, such as barcode Electronic Product Code-compliant passive RFID and Global Positioning Systems used to track ships and trucks transporting ocean containers.
Savi Networks is a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Hutchison Port Holdings.
