•Industry Brief: Motorola's Travel And Transportation RFID Solutions

Travel and transportation impacts a wide spectrum of industries. Commerce fails to occur when you do not move goods from point to point in the supply chain or move people around the world. The demand to transport assets faster, better, cheaper and ultimately safer, is greater today than ever before. As the cost of labor continues to rise and as companies look to implement additional safety and security provisions, more and more companies are looking to RFID to reduce errors and improve efficiencies.

Transportation & Logistics providers are positioned between manufacturers, suppliers and the retailer. As globalization increases and the time and distance between the point of manufacturing and the point of consumption increases, so does the need for these companies to improve the efficiency of their operations, reduce costs and ultimately provide better customer service. With rising demands for the delivery of goods, transportation companies are looking for faster and cheaper means of delivery, and increased and more accurate tracking capabilities. With fuel prices and labor costs on the rise in an increasingly competitive environment, many logistics providers are running on less than optimal fleet sizes and are struggling to get more from their transportation networks. RFID solutions for the transportation and logistics industry (including air, rail, water, truck, parcel/post delivery, transit, and pipeline) help companies access more accurate and timely data to manage their assets, including the transportation vehicle. RFID solutions for asset maintenance, yard management (cross-docking applications), dispatch, pickup and delivery, sales force automation and more secure freight and container solutions are available to help companies improve efficiencies or enhance services to their customers.
