Descartes Air RFID Solutions
Track & Monitor Equipment & Inventory
Monitor the movement of RFID-tagged items with the use of scanners and a fixed antenna network to maximize equipment utility and signal inventory replenishment.
Ensure That Equipment Is Deployed Efficiently & Trigger Key Inventory Ordering Events
The demands on air carriers are high to ensure that cargo moves quickly throughout the air cargo supply chain. Critical to this is ensuring that valuable equipment is tracked, utilized correctly, and stock reordered to minimize holding costs and to improve overall operational efficiency.
Descartes RFID solutions can track and monitor the movement of items within a fixed-reader environment. Information for all tracked items is stored centrally and can be shared to prompt reordering and to deploy equipment where it is needed most. Our user-based permissions and tracking can also monitor equipment usage and control access. Descartes RFID—Game-changing solutions for the air industry.
