Agenda
Evolution of Container Management in the Supply ChainAdvances in AIDC/RFID TechnologyNew Dimensions in RFID/CMS Applications for Enhanced Tracking and ControlDemonstrationClosing

Container Management Systems
Container Management Systems (CMS) are a New Dimension in Supply Chain Execution (SCE) and Collaborative Logistics Technology– Focused on returnable transport containers (RTCs)
and other mobile assetsDeployed where asset has high actual, strategic regulatory or intrinsic value
– CMS integrate multiple elementsContainer identificationContainer data capture / mobile computingApplication software and hardwareIntegration software and hardware

Container Management Systems…
Container Management Systems Provide Advanced Functionality for Efficient Asset Tracking and Control– Inventory Management– Location Management– Preventive Maintenance– Billing– Value Added Processing– Routing– Demand Planning and
Forecasting

Container Management Systems Today
Adoption of Container Management Systems have Risen from Four Parallel Forces– Acceptance and growth of SCE solutions– Advances in AIDC/RFID and communications
technologies– Drive to returnable packaging – The Internet
Expect Increased Deployment as Drive to Supply Chain Efficiency Increases

Issues in Container Management
Efficient Container Management has Historically Been Hindered by Multiple Issues– Cost (purchase, maintenance, loss)– An operational necessity but difficult to manage– Difficult to identify – environmental and use
conditions preclude efficient identification– Non-standardization – difficult to warehouse,
creates material handling and logistics issues– An information “black hole” – the true missing
link in the supply chain of asset-intensive industries
999
Issues in Container Management…
– Logistics Network Complexity – loss and under-utilization due to inability to track or locale
– Difficult Location Tracking – in-transit visibility has been economically unachievable
– Security – content loss due to inability to protect, no protection against dangerous agents
– Government/Environmental Regulations – drive to “green”, reusable assets, food or chemical regulations for source ingredients
101010
The Failure of Supply Chain Systems in Container Management
Hardware and Software Technology Providers Have Traditionally Failed to Provide Solutions for Effective Container Identification and Tracking– Traditional ERP business systems – do not track
assets or content– Current supply chain execution systems do not track
assets – WMS, TMS, etc.“Stop at warehouse door”
– Supply chain process management systems (SCPM) do not track containers only SKU, inventory, etc.
– Automated identification and data collection (AIDC) solutions are hardware focused, no application software
111111
The Failure of Supply Chain Systems in Container Management…
Extended Supply Chain Networks Require New Technology Solutions for Efficient Container Management– Provide RFID, communication and sensor
technologies– Integrate container management solutions with ERP,
ADC, manufacturing and supply chain execution systems
– Provide supply chain network integration for true collaborative logistics including event management, visibility and process integration among trading partners – suppliers, co-packers, manufacturers, distributors, 3rd party, customers

Tracking Assets with RFID
Tag beacon is received by RFID reader. TagID and location information is interpreted.
Readers communicate via 802.11b to access point and onto network.
Tag ID and location data is sent to CMS.
CMS data accessible by users
Tagged assets beacon at designated frequency

Issues with RFID
Adoption Limited by Costs – RFID vs. Barcode– Barcode (4 per container) = $2.50– Passive RFID (1 per container) = $1.00 - $5.00– Active RFID (1 per container) = $18.00 - $50.00
In-Transit Visibility Limited by Technology (power, frequency, range)– High infrastructure costs to capture/send data on
asset, location, etc.Environmental Restrictions– Tag usage in specific applications

New Dimensions in RFID/CMS
Applications for Enhanced Tracking and Communication– Location Tracking
GPS-based locatingRFID tag network creation, e.g. self networking tag
– Global Visibility Based on Advanced Communication Technology
Microwave, Satcom, Cellular– Condition Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of container status– Security
Prevent or record tampering, invasive materials
