It’s all about the DATA

Has it crossed

the border?

Are these authentic products?

Any hazardous materials?

Is my equipment functionin

g properly?

Has the containerbeen tampered?

Where is mymaterial? Whenwill it arrive?

Are my workerswhere they aresupposed to be?

Are my areassecured?

• Chassis tracking at Brampton Intermodal Terminal (BIT)

• Capture RFID reads from incoming chassis at Main Entrance

• Capture RFID reads from incoming chassis at Secondary Entrance

• Capture RFID reads from outgoing chassis at Exit

• Interface with CN-Rail SRS legacy system through MQSeries

Indian Railways Cargo Tracking

• Indian Railways (IR) Large and Complex Operations▫ 250,000 Wagons, 7,000 Locomotives, 7,500 Railway Stations, 15 Zones,

68 Operating Divisions▫ Center for Railway Information Systems (CRIS)

An umbrella for all computer activities at IR• Freight Operations Information Systems (FOIS) has been designed

to give strategic advantages to both IR and its customers▫ Global tracking of consignments in real time whether in rakes or in

individual wagons▫ Continuous cargo visibility - FOIS enables freight customers to have

instant access to information regarding the current status of their consignments in transit, for just in time inventory

• Leading edge technology project to integrate with FOIS won with WIPRO “Implementation of Automatic Identification of Railway Wagons using RFID”

• Breakthrough win against IBM, HP, TCS, Satyam and CMC (they developed FOIS)

• Account potential for Shipcom▫ Expected multimillion dollar contract based on number of stations

covered

Vignette - Keesler Hospital Air Force Project

• Keesler Hospital received federal funding of $6.7m to be spent over the next 2 years to investigate the use of RFID & other AIDC technologies to improve the performance of Keesler Hospital.

• Contract was awarded to Shipcom in May 2008• This is potential deploying this set of

applications to 50 air force hospitals

• Identified uses of RFID for healthcare are;▫ Equipment Tracking ▫ Patient Tracking▫ Infant Tracking/Security▫ Staff Tracking▫ Clinical Department Services

• Main RFID Initiatives▫Patient Centric Care Delivery▫Patient Safety

RFID Initiatives

ROI – Return on Investment

• Asset Management• Reduction/Elimination of theft

• Overall inventory reduction

• Eliminate Staff unproductive time locating assets needed

• Increase Clinician workflow efficiencies

• Increase Operational workflow efficiencies

• Patient Progression

• Increase billing potential

• Associate and monitor doctor and patient interaction

• Reduce risks of patient safety liabilities

RFID / SAP Integration and Mobile Asset Management

Qatar Petroleum is committed to the highest standards for health, safety and the environment (HSE) throughout its operations. Qatar Petroleum is one of the most respected names in the Oil & Gas industry, QP wanted to ensure safety procedures are in place and 100% inspection and audit compliance is achieved for fire and safety critical equipments.Issues:

Difficulty in performing an accurate and timely inspection of fire and safety critical equipmentScheduling of inspection orders was done manually with no centralized controlNo method to ensure the complete execution of the tasks in the inspection orderDifficulty in assessing which part vendors supplied the best quality and product performance

Solution:Used RFID to tag fire and safety equipment.

This gave full visibility of when, how, and by whom a certain piece of equipment was inspected and this information was is accessible from anywhere

Tagging critical parts with RFIDThis stored the parts performance and origin in an easy to access online database to compare with others for quality assurance.

Safety procedures tied into SAPMade all data in regards to the safety checks available from anywhere

RFID Warehouse OptimizationThe Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco), the state-owned oil company of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is the largest petroleum corporation in the world. The Kingdom has the world’s largest recoverable oil reserves and the fourth-largest natural gas reserves.

Issues:Poor spare part receiving systemLow inventory visibilityVery slow input into SAP due to lack in automationInsufficient tracking of ROTATABLE (returnable spares that have a high value)

Solution:RFID tagged spare parts

Better tracking of parts within the company that led to a decrease in delays when looking for parts

Fixed readers mounted throughout the facilityAutomated the process of recording when parts were leaving and where they are going

Integration of RFID into SAPThe entire system was updated automatically on a real-time basis into SAP

WMS, Rig Inventory and Asset Tracking

ENSCO International ("ENSCO") is a Premier Global Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling Contractor providing services which are essential to oil companies in their worldwide exploration and development efforts. The Company’s fleet is strategically located in the most prolific domestic and international oil and gas markets.

Issues:Manual inventory processesWant for better spare part and inventory management on the rigTrack preventative maintenance on sparesBetter asset visibility

Solution:Used CATAMARAN asset visibility

Visibility in the warehouses and across many rigs of their inventory

Integration into PeopleSoftBarcodes were implemented

CATAMARAN gave the ability to store and record data about spare parts and process that were carried out on each while also giving visibility of inventory life cycles
