Military


Looking to improve the end-to-end visibility and security of critical high-value assets? Take advantage of proven cost reductions? Realize operational effectiveness and efficiencies?

The 3M™ RFID Tracking System can help the military with several applications of RFID technology for tracking and provide benefits that have high value in a military setting. Our easy-to-use system gives all the tools needed to systematically track, locate and manage high value files and assets. With the durability to withstand global deployments, the 3M RFID File Tracking System can be adapted and implemented to effectively and efficiently integrate with existing computer hardware and software applications and help transform the military supply chain from storage depots to the battlefield.

High value asset and sensitive file tracking

The 3M RFID Tracking System is highly suitable for urban indoor/outdoor combat environments and can help base personnel quickly and easily process sensitive files and high value assets. The system includes software, tags, pads and a handheld tracker. Each tag is a paper-thin label that electronically identifies all files within range of a reader. Unlike barcodes, scanning does not require a physical line of sight and base personnel can process many tagged files at once, and tags can be read through folders. The tracking pad is a networked device that programs tags and checks items in and out. The portable handheld tracker allows personnel to quickly read tags, inventory, and update file locations on the server. The device also locates misfiled items on shelves (or in storage) and indicates where they should be re-filed. With the tracking software, a complete file history and chain of custody is available on any connected computer.

Improve productivity

On its own or integrated with existing records management systems, the 3M RFID Tracking System can help improve productivity, reduce administrative errors and speed accepting, and deploying and reassigning of personnel. Inventorying, one of the most time-intensive duties for base personnel can be reduced from weeks to hours without compromising accuracy. Affordable and intuitive, the system will allow you to easily transport and track personnel records between bases and lead to enhanced readiness for our troops.
