Experience in Defense and Civilian RFID SolutionsThe Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Defense Distribution Centers (DDC) manage the world’s largest and most complex supply chain – serving the most important clients in the world – our defenders of freedom. ODIN helped the DLA roll out RFID across 71 facilities in 129 days - under budget. ODIN has worked across all branches of our U.S. Military – Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines as well as DoD agencies. Within the Civilian Government, ODIN is a recognized leader in IT asset tracking, inventory control and homeland security. ODIN is currently working with our Department of Homeland Security (DHS) supplying RFID equipment and expertise to secure our nation’s borders supporting the Western Hemisphere Transportation Initiative (WHTI) and has worked with Department of State tracking IT Assets. Expertise in Commercial and Government Best PracticesThe U.S. Government looks to ODIN as more than an RFID integrator. ODIN provides insight how RFID can solve logistical and business process problems and ensures the technology is accurate and easy to use. Government buyers leverage ODIN’s unmatched industry and technical knowledge to map the available commercial off the shelf (COTS) RFID solutions to specific end user needs, innovating new products along the way. The highly touted ODIN SMART container is one such innovation based on the need of the U.S. Navy to move beyond simple in-transit visibility (ITV) and toward the more comprehensive total asset visibility (TAV). To cement our commitment to supporting our country we constructed a new ODIN RFID Innovation Lab, just outside the Capital Beltway, enabling easy access for government users to see RFID solutions in action and work with our industry leading engineering team. Within our lab, the ODIN team of physicists and engineers are creating solutions to solve the problems of our soldiers and civil servants so that we strengthen our government and protect the freedoms that we all enjoy. Proven SolutionsAt ODIN, we have done over 250 RFID projects and with this experience we have wrapped solutions around typical use cases that you may find useful:
In addition to pre-packaged RFID solutions, ODIN also provides the most respected RFID custom engineering services in the industry.

Automated Weapons Tracking with RFIDThe Challenge: Weapons tracking and security are among the highest responsibilities for the military and one of the most time-consuming, labor intensive processes. The Solution: ODIN technologies developed a weapons tracking solution that automates receipt of bulk or individual weapons shipments, the validation issue and shipment processes and streamlines grading and sorting for roll-back repair items. Leveraging experience in military weapons storage operations, ODIN developed a comprehensive solution that can enable mobile, fixed entry point or work area tracking and validation. Automated weapons tracking data can also be integrated directly into existing enterprise weapons systems of record, eliminating duplicate entry and data entry errors. Solution Components: The solution is configured based on customer requirements and includes some or all of the following components:
The Result: Faster and more accurate weapons locating, receiving, grading, shipping and issue processes. The solution can be customized to meet specific weapons tracking process, rules and integration requirements. It was developed to make it easier for weapons managers to purchase and implement a complete automated solution. RFID enabled Shipping and ReceivingThe Challenge: The volume and complexity of supply receiving and shipping requires tremendous labor hours today. Many suppliers and internal users are now applying passive RFID (pRFID) tags to pallets and cases and there is an opportunity to leverage this capability driving efficiency, velocity, visibility and accuracy. The Solution: ODIN technologies developed a shipping and receiving solution that automates receipt and shipment of bulk or individual parcels and pallets. The items can be automatically validated, recorded and tracking by time and date of processing and can be integrated into existing enterprise systems. Solution Components: The solution is configured based on customer requirements and includes some or all of the following components:

Self-Inventorying SMART ContainerWinner of the prestigious Best in Show Award from RFID Journal in 2009, ODIN’s Self-Inventorying SMART Container can retrofit a standard ISO shipping container with passive RFID is under a minute. It can then pass that read data directly to an active RFID tag, over satellite communications, WiFi or through a direction connection. The Self-Inventorying SMART Container is battery powered and can operate in austere environments for months between recharges. A video overview can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG3cOVZ4Ggg. The Challenge: Over the past few years, supply managers and logisticians have gained the ability to track shipping containers in transit, but they remain virtually blind to what’s inside the container itself. When the contents of the containers change and systems are not manually updated to reflect these changes, inventory control and tracking accuracy degrade.
Key supply chain and operations stakeholders lack visibility to critical asset movement. In fact, the two most common methods of inventory tracking remain manual cycle counting and barcode scanning, both time intensive and highly error prone. The growing complexities of logistics management coupled with the trend toward reducing labor costs impair the asset manager’s ability to manually track inventory levels accurately and efficiently. Diminishing personnel combined with increasing requirements has created a growing visibility gap that is increasingly error prone, costing billions of dollars in shrinkage, inefficiency and shipping delays. ODIN’s self-inventorying SMART Container technology eliminates those problems. The Solution: The Self-Inventorying SMART Container is a fully contained solution easily deployed in under a minute, yet is designed to withstand the most demanding and rigorous field conditions. More importantly, the Self-Inventorying SMART Container solution provides real-time access to detailed inventory information within shipping containers anywhere around the world with just the click of a mouse. Take a look at the results from a recent Trans Pacific shipment by a high tech electronics manufacturer (http://smartweb.odintechnologies.com/SmartWeb/index.action). The Self-Inventorying SMART Container finally closes the visibility gap, providing detailing inventory tracking from the factory to the front door. Solution Components: The Self-Inventorying SMART Container is a fully contained portable unit ready to provide passive RFID data on a moments notice without the need for a local power source. Key component features include:
Results: the Self-Inventorying SMART Container enables greater operations and supply chain efficiency, visibility and accuracy. A recent shipment by a high tech electronics manufacturer showed a full container being loaded and recorded with a SMART Container in 1/3 the time of traditional method capturing the load data with barcode technology. A video of the live load process can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56_9p7tp3mI. That same shipment provided twice daily updates on the container position and the full container contents during a three week journey from Taipei, Taiwan to Denver, Colorado. You can view the transmissions at: http://smartweb.odintechnologies.com/SmartWeb/index.action. The solution has also been tested in rugged military environments for tracking tools and repair supplies reducing time to inventory and locate critical items in the field. |
