Greater Profits and Enhanced Security
• Can we achieve the enhanced logistics securitydesired by the US Department of Homeland Security(DHS) and international Customs agencies while alsoincreasing corporate profits?
• Can the Automated Identification Technology (AIT) used for container security actually increase net profit rather than be deemed to be an additional security tax?
• If the answer to these questions is “Yes”, then the whole decision process changes from “why” to “how and when”.

Greater Profits
Supply Chain Attributes that Contribute to Greater Profits• Less Expensive
– Better utilization of shipping asset s
– Lower insurance premiums
• Faster– Improved supply chain management
– In-transit route optimization
• Higher Quality– Environmental monitoring– Continuous visibility
• More Deterministic– Fast Lane Processing– Continuous Chain of Custody
• Much more effective than 100% scans

Actionable Versus Store-and-Forward
• Information latency affects service value• Stored data via a RFID or regional comms can provide history
– Security state– Environmental history– Route history
• Stored data may be sufficient for Fastlane• Actionable data via continuous global communications
(Iridium)• Continuous reporting allows pro-active action in-transit
– Security breach– Route deviation– Mishandling and other out-of-tolerance states– Delays
• Flexible reporting interval provides efficiency

Beacon Versus Report-by-Exception
• Actionable data can be determined on the server or on the device
• Server-based decision making requires frequent reporting
• Device-based decision making allows reporting by exception
• Using route deviation as an example
– Assume 15 minute maximum latency
– Beacon must report every 15 minutes to provide serve with data
– Smart device must only check position every 15 minutes
– Considerably affects life-cycle cost
• Assume battery powered global communications device
– Beacon must report 2,880 times per month
– Smart-device may report only routine status 30 times per month
– Almost 100 times difference in battery use and communications cost
