White Paper: Increase Visibility And Velocity With Real-Time Asset Management Solutions

Within a year of implementing automated identification technology and radio frequency identification (RFID) to locate disassembled parts at various stages of the refurbishing process, the Tobyhanna, Pa., U.S. Army Depot achieved near real-time visibility into each item's status, along with easier analysis to prevent bottlenecks, and savings estimated at $450,000 per year.

Throughout government, visibility and decentralized execution are increasingly critical to improving operational performance and delivering the vital insight managers at all levels require to quickly make decisions aimed at better serving the needs of stakeholders and constituents.

In most government facilities, asset management is the essential ingredient for building the visibility agencies require. Equipment and supply tracking, for example, is critical to air base operations, depot maintenance, fleet management and even intelligence collection and dissemination. While many government organizations have had to ‘make do' with inherently inaccurate manual processes – sometimes using pen and paper, and diverting key personnel from operational tasks – most now realize that automated real-time information is ready for prime time, and can dramatically improve performance on mission-critical tasks.
