Salutations!

Welcome back to  DoD Shipping News, issue no. 8. I'm Ashley Lange, public relations assistant for SimplyRFiD. This issue will focus on all the great options SimplyRFiD can offer you to save you money and keep your assets safe.
 
CHEAPER: The cost and quality of RFID and UID tags can vary a great deal. Sometimes it's necessary to invest in the most expensive tags on the market, and sometimes all you need are the bare minimums. It can save your company a lot of money and time to get the right tags for the project at the outset. At SimplyRFiD, chances are good we have the tags you need for your project. Read more about our cost effective,  easy-to-use RFID and UID solutions in this newsletter!

SAFER: Knowledge is power, and knowing where all of your most valuable objects are gives you the power necessary to keep them safe. With our NoxVault system, you can scan hundreds of RFID tags attached to objects per second, letting you know almost immediately what's there and what's missing. Our team can help set up a system that allows you to strategically place tags and readers so it's even easier to see at what point in the process the object might be misplaced or stolen. In this newsletter, learn about how Excel Manufacturing used this very system to streamline their DoD shipping and speed up the process of ensuring that the items being shipped are correct and accounted for. 
 
STRONGER: For a tough job, you need even tougher equipment. But what happens when that equipment needs to be tagged for identification or asset tracking purposes? Not to worry, because our NOX-TM4 tags are some of the toughest around. We even have the videos to prove it, available to look at elsewhere in this email. 

Need help with our products or with shipping to the DoD? SimplyRFiD has you covered. Check out this newsletter for info on our free webinars hosted weekly by SimplyRFiD experts.
 
We always look for ways to make DoD shipping easier. If you have any suggestions for future training courses, or any other ways we can help you do business, please contact us! Send an email to support@simplyrfid.com.

Excel Manufacturing: Asset Tracking Case Study
 
SimplyRFiD took a journey south to El Paso, TX this past month to help Excel Manufacturing install their new Nox RFID asset tracking and labeling system. Excel Manufacturing ships thousands of Airmen Battle Uniforms to the Air Force every month, and wanted to combine their required RFID labels with a system that would improve their asset tracking and surveillance capabilities.

Prior to implementing SimplyRFiD's asset tracking system, Excel Excel Manufacturing ABU picManufacturing depended on pen and paper to keep track of their assets, producing nothing more than contextless data. With the Nox system, Excel can now track every item that passes through their hands and even view video footage of the item. Because of the strategic placement of readers throughout the process, it's easy to see where items might be going missing or where things have started to slow. 

Learn more about the Excel Manufacturing installation at "Headaches and Inefficiency, Asset Tracking with RFID Cures Both" on our blog.

 

Affordable, Easy-to-use, DoD compliant UID

Shipping something extra important or expensive to the DoD? You'll probably need UID tags, in addition the the RFID tags you already use. Currently, the DoD requires UID tags, or Unique Idenitifcation tags, on all mission critical items or items that cost more than $5000. The tags must be attached directly to the object and must last as long as the to which its attached.  
 
Learn more about the UID options being offered by SimplyRFiD at our blog. UID tags can be ordered pre-printed or can be produced in-house by the right type of printer.
 
If you need to find out immediately if SimplyRFiD has the solution for you, give us a call at 1 (800) 909-5524.
