RFID Shipping: SAVR Saves Critical Shipments With ''SENTRY''

SAVR Communications, Inc. a technology innovator for the transportation and logistics industry, has successfully developed the first "package level" tracking device for shippers of high-value or temperature sensitive goods. The SAVR SENTRY is a unique family of in-transit track and trace devices that provide a cost-effective, intelligent, and adaptable solution for remote tracking and monitoring of shipments, equipment and resources. The SENTRY is designed to enhance the visibility and utilization of assets by providing location, status, and environmental information via a unique web interface.

SAVR's SENTRY product (being introduced at the RFID World Conference in Grapevine Texas March 26th through the 28th) incorporates real-time on-demand capability with advanced sensor technology that allows the asset owners to know where their shipment/equipment/resources are (as well as their condition) at any time. This scaleable modular platform gives the users a solution that uniquely fits their needs and requirements without compromise.

The SENTRY platform includes support for numerous communication capabilities such as Wi- Fi, RFID, Cellular (GSM/GPRS), and LEO (Low Earth Orbit) Satellites. The rechargeable battery pack device also supports numerous sensor/data acquisition options such as temperature, fluid levels, shock, light, humidity, radiation, audible alarms, multiple frequency exciters, high sensitivity GPS and Differential GPS in order to fully monitor packages as they are in transit. In addition, theft detection circuitry and tamper cords can be integrated to alert users of tampering that may occur in transit. This functionality is particularly valuable for high value shipments from premium shippers, pharmaceutical suppliers, third party logistics service providers, electronics manufactures, military, aerospace, banking and medical labs.

The software and web based GUI (with dynamic password access) are in place and completely customizable for each application. In addition, all of this information is capable of being adapted to work with all primary operating systems or network configurations.

The SENTRY is designed to provide a higher level of shipment visibility than is currently offered by large companies within the transportation and logistics industry.

In the first of its kind, SAVR has also developed a response center to manage the shipment lifecycle of a package. By monitoring location, status, and environment information via its product and web interface, SAVR's response center will support each shipment that requires this service so a customer can be confident their high-value or sensitive shipments will arrive in the condition they expect. "If the response center receives an alert from the package or shipment indicating it has fallen out of pre-established parameters, we can identify exactly where the package is and take all necessary steps to put it back in compliance" says John Crossno, CEO of SAVR Communications. To see the SENTRY, please visit booth 1101 at the RFID World Conference where it will be introduced and on display to the public.
