Savi Technology has announced the general availability of a new kind of system designed for the chemical industry that provides continuous, real-time information on the location and status of hazardous materials as they are positioned or moved through the extended supply chain. The Savi Chemical Industry Chain of Custody Solution, announced at LogiChem 2005 along with a multi-year contract with one of the world's leading providers of chemical products, enhances asset and content visibility, stewardship, and security. Based on the newly released Savi SmartChain Asset Management System 4.5 (Savi AMS 4.5), the system also optimizes use of supply chain assets such as tanks, drums, and gas cylinders that transport chemicals from origin to destination.
The Savi Chemical Industry Chain of Custody Solution integrates with all types of Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) technologies such as bar codes, active and passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and GPS satellite location systems. This link with AIDC technologies enables providers of chemical products to achieve continuous visibility of hazardous materials as they are transported through the supply chain.
