Savi Technology announced that the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) has launched a network exchange hub that will allow NATO coalition forces to share information on supply shipments more efficiently and effectively.
The Routing Hub will provide better visibility of RFID-tracked consignments moving through national multi-nation military supply chains.
Deployed at the NAMSA headquarters in Luxembourg, the Routing Hub transmits data from Savi’s interoperable RFID-based logistics network, which automatically locates, tracks and manages in-transit NATO material. Nations connected to the Routing Hub at NAMSA can directly transmit logistics data to other users, providing enhanced levels of real-time asset visibility.
The Routing Hub utilizes NAMSA’s existing NATO mailbox server system, a similar routing service for logistics processes, which allows nations to utilize the Routing Hub at NAMSA to link RFID data quickly and easily.
