TNT Express select AeroScout to improve visibility

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

AeroScout unveiled the deployment of its logistics visibility solution at TNT Express, European express deliverer.

The solution includes AeroScout’s T2-EB Industrial Tags, which are designed specifically for use in harsh, high-vibration environments. The tags provide real-time tracking of TNT’s roll cages, metal carriers used to transport parcels between depots.

TNT Express integrated AeroScout’s Wi-Fi RFID solution into its existing wireless network for automating inventory management, without needing to add a proprietary RFID network.

AeroScout’s Wi-Fi Tags are attached to each roll cage, proving automatic inventory management of cages, including carriers and parcels, at each depot.

With roughly 200 shipping depots, 40 aircrafts and 30,000 cargo vehicles, TNT Express looks to AeroScout to assists its management of assets, reduce costs, all while improving workflow and preventing delays. [end]
