TASC, Inc., has implemented a new three-dimensional asset management system for the Navy that is based on passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and an inventory management system.
The RFID Real Time Location System automatically inventories stock count and locations for reconciliation. From automatic stock count and location queries, users receive real- time inventory reports and a three-dimensional graphical presentation of items’ location in the warehouse. “We know that warehouses with high levels of inventory management accuracy have lower operating costs, better ordering protocols and more efficient workflows for their employees,” said Pat Talty, vice president for Mission Engineering at TASC. “We expect the time savings alone will pay for the system in less than two years.” The new inventory management system was implemented at the Navy’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technical Division warehouse in Indian Head, Md. TASC teamed with RF Controls, LLC, on the project.
