RFID and Jaguar

In an attempt to provide real-time location information and security alerts for shipping containers packed with replacement parts, Jaguar and its logistics partner, Unipart Logistics, will use sensors and ISO-standard active RFID tags by Savi Newtorks on shipping containers. The tags will be used to track all inbound Jaguar shipments.

Supply chains are more and more competitive, and it's especially important for automotive companies to find new ways to compete. The adoption cycle of RFID technologies is accelerating. It is a continuation of the ongoing process in the automotive industry. There was total quality management, then Six Sigma. RFID is part of the continuous improvement process.
