Savi Networks Release date: July 27, 2007
Emprevi Launches Service for Securing, Tracking Cargo July 27, 2007-Since June, Colombian logistics provider Empresa de Prevencion y Vigilancia (Emprevi) has been using a Savi Networks RFID solution to track shipments of goods from their point of manufacture to the port of Buenaventura on their way out of the country. The logistics company expects the system to reduce security costs by $350 per container, says Alvaro Mauricio Duran Lopez, Emprevi's director of operations and protection, and also save two days' time spent in port facilities waiting for inspections.
"As of June this year, the system has been fully operational," says Neil Smith, Savi Networks' CFO. Eight manufacturers are participating, he explains, with RFID interrogators installed in their facilities. Lopez expects that number to grow to several dozen within the coming year. Emprevi transports goods for the pharmaceutical, health-care, consumer packaged goods, food and beverage industries.
