AppLocation announced that it has been awarded a yard management
contract to track cable reels in nine yards across Canada. The
entire project may include up to 50 yards and integrate active and
passive RFID on the same platform plus GPS vehicle tracking. The
scalability and flexibility of AppLocation's MOBILEFusion™ platform
was a key factor in being chosen for the project. The entire project
is expected to include up to 50 additional locations for yard
management plus a variety of asset tracking classes which may
include passive and active RFID plus GPS tracking of vehicles on the
same platform. |

Victoria, British Columbia - AppLocation Systems, Inc. announced
that it has recently been awarded a contract to deploy active RFID
and MOBILEFusion™ to track cable reels for one of its customers from
one distribution centre to and from nine yards across Canada. The
project roll out will deploy thousands of heavy duty industrial
active RFID tags commencing in August 2008 and is slated to be
completed by mid October.
AppLocation President Gary Hartwig commented,
"The entire project is expected to include up to 50 additional
locations for yard management plus a variety of asset tracking
classes which may include passive and active RFID plus GPS tracking
of vehicles on the same platform."
Hartwig went on the say that the scalability of
AppLocation's MOBILEFusion™ platform was a key factor in being
chosen for the project. "Our carrier grade MOBILEFusion™ platform
links location sensitive data from networks to ERP applications such
as inventory, billing and order entry," he said."By using the
flexibility of MOBILEFusion's platform architecture with wireless
and GPS and RFID integration capabilities, it's now easier than
before to find inventory across the supply chain by "going mobile."
Hartwig continued, "In this application, the
critical business requirement is to ensure cable reels are in the
correct yard at the right time to guarantee service delivery." He
added, "MOBILEFusion will manage the data load for thousands of
asset tags, monitor readers and cellular backhaul for remote
locations and handle mapping and reporting, so users can easily see
where inventory is -- for real time supply chain visibility."
The convergence of location sensitive technologies such as RFID, GPS
and handheld location based services (LBS) requires a next
generation wireless plug and play platform to drive easy, affordable
adoption of asset location for supply chain logistics and mobile
resource management. "We bring rich mapping, location-sensitive
data, business logistics and supply chain visibility into
transaction data," concludes Hartwig.
