Transportation/Logistics

Be certain...that it gets there.

Truck and cargo thefts result in more than $10 billion in annual losses. As a result, more and more freight and logistics companies are investigating new solutions to safeguard their assets and reach for higher performance.  RFID tags and sensors are a key part of this solution set. 

MIKOH can help design and implement a physically secure solution so that vehicles, containers and assets are effectively secured, registered and tracked worldwide.  By incorporating MIKOH’s process expertise and patented tamper-evident technologies, customers can be certain that asset itself is being tracked, as opposed to just the presence of the tag. 

There are various tamper-evident solutions for transportation and logistics operations, and new applications are being identified on an ongoing basis. Current applications include:

Transportation/Logistics Applications:

Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR): A system that electronically identifies vehicles and validates the identity, status and authenticity of registration data. Solutions typically enable automated compliance monitoring of all vehicle registration requirements within a state or country.

Rental Item Tracking:  Tamper-evident RFID tags can be used to smooth asset storage and retrieval through tag-based automation.

Cold Chain Logistics: Semi-active tag solutions can track and trace temperatures throughout the supply chain and distribution processes, ensuring product viability for produce, frozen foods, medications and temperature sensitive chemicals

Chain of Custody / Product Integrity:  In addition to tracking an asset, the tag or label can be used as a seal due to its tamper-evident properties.

Securing and Tracking Shipping Containers:  Tamper evident RFID tags can be used as both a seal for containers, and to provide tracking data.
