Description

RFID is hot! Whether it's a parcel, pallet or container, those things indicate what they are,
how heavy they are, where they need to go and what time they need to be somewhere. Say you have a
truck on the road that is near one of the warehouses. Then a parcel in the
warehouse asks if it can come with you. The truck then negotiates with the parcels that have already been
loaded whether they will arrive late as a result.
RFID leads to larger, real-time information flows. With the aim of greater situational
awareness. Each individual employee must have information, which allows them to better assess their
or their situation in order to react quickly to changes. And
precisely that is needed for defence logistics. Armed forces worldwide are using RFID to
improve their JTAV (Joint Total Asset Visibility). But apart from transparency in the
chain logistics, RFID can also mean improvements in the system logistics chain.
But, even with the RFID wonder tool, we have to keep asking ourselves what the real issue is
. Cooperation between people in the defence logistics chain and cooperation with
civilian partners. The supply chain may be so beautifully conceived, the ICT advanced, but the
planning and control ultimately determine success. The
decisions people make determine winning or losing.
What
can defence learn from the experiences with RFID at other
armed forces and civilian companies?
