It’s all about the DATA
Has it
crossed the
border?
Are my workers
where they are
supposed to be?
Any
hazardous
materials?
Are these
authentic
products?
Are my areas
secured?
Where is my
material? When
will it arrive?
Has the container
been tampered?
Is my
equipment
functioning
properly?

Visibility Reporting
• Chassis tracking at Brampton Intermodal Terminal (BIT)
• Capture RFID reads from incoming chassis at Main Entrance
• Capture RFID reads from incoming chassis at Secondary Entrance
• Capture RFID reads from outgoing chassis at Exit
• Interface with CN-Rail SRS legacy system through MQSeries
Indian Railways Cargo Tracking
• Indian Railways (IR) Large and Complex Operations
▫ 250,000 Wagons, 7,000 Locomotives, 7,500 Railway Stations, 15 Zones, 68
Operating Divisions
▫ Center for Railway Information Systems (CRIS)
 An umbrella for all computer activities at IR
• Freight Operations Information Systems (FOIS) has been designed to give
strategic advantages to both IR and its customers
▫ Global tracking of consignments in real time whether in rakes or in individual
wagons
▫ Continuous cargo visibility - FOIS enables freight customers to have instant
access to information regarding the current status of their consignments in
transit, for just in time inventory
• Leading edge technology project to integrate with FOIS won with WIPRO
“Implementation of Automatic Identification of Railway Wagons
using RFID”
• Breakthrough win against IBM, HP, TCS, Satyam and CMC (they developed
FOIS)
• Account potential for Shipcom
▫ Expected multimillion dollar contract based on number of stations covered
Vignette - Keesler Hospital Air Force Project
• Keesler Hospital received federal funding of
$6.7m to be spent over the next 2 years to
investigate the use of RFID & other AIDC
technologies to improve the performance of
Keesler Hospital.
• Contract was awarded to Shipcom in May
2008
• This is potential deploying this set of
applications to 50 air force hospitals
• Identified uses of RFID for healthcare are;
▫ Equipment Tracking
▫ Patient Tracking
▫ Infant Tracking/Security
▫ Staff Tracking
▫ Clinical Department Services
• Main RFID Initiatives
▫ Patient Centric Care Delivery
▫ Patient Safety
RFID Initiatives
• Asset Management
• Reduction/Elimination of theft
• Overall inventory reduction
• Eliminate Staff unproductive time locating assets
needed
• Increase Clinician workflow efficiencies
• Increase Operational workflow efficiencies
• Patient Progression
• Increase billing potential
• Associate and monitor doctor and patient
interaction
• Reduce risks of patient safety liabilities
ROI – Return on Investment
a/Care: Asset Management
▫ Real time location of Assets (Medical, IT, Facility)
▫ Conditional Logics for Monitoring & Alerts
 Asset Allocations/Utilization
 Medical Device Calibration/Maintenance
 Association of Medical Equipment to Patient/Clinician
 Assets leaving the facility

Qatar Petroleum is committed to the highest standards for health, safety and the environment
(HSE) throughout its operations. Qatar Petroleum is one of the most respected names in the Oil &
Gas industry, QP wanted to ensure safety procedures are in place and 100% inspection and audit
compliance is achieved for fire and safety critical equipments.
Issues:
Solution:
Difficulty in performing an accurate and
timely inspection of fire and safety
critical equipment
Scheduling of inspection orders was
done manually with no centralized
control
No method to ensure the complete
execution of the tasks in the inspection
order
Difficulty in assessing which part
vendors supplied the best quality and
product performance
Used RFID to tag fire and safety
equipment.
This gave full visibility of when, how, and by
whom a certain piece of equipment was
inspected and this information was is
accessible from anywhere
Tagging critical parts with RFID
This stored the parts performance and origin
in an easy to access online database to
compare with others for quality assurance.
Safety procedures tied into SAP
Made all data in regards to the safety checks
available from anywhere
RFID Warehouse Optimization
The Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco), the state-owned oil company of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, is the largest petroleum corporation in the world. The Kingdom has the world’s
largest recoverable oil reserves and the fourth-largest natural gas reserves.
Issues:
Solution:
Poor spare part receiving system
Low inventory visibility
Very slow input into SAP due to lack in
automation
Insufficient tracking of ROTATABLE
(returnable spares that have a high
value)
RFID tagged spare parts
Better tracking of parts within the company
that led to a decrease in delays when looking
for parts
Fixed readers mounted throughout the facility
Automated the process of recording when
parts were leaving and where they are going
Integration of RFID into SAP
The entire system was updated automatically
on a real-time basis into SAP

Tracking
ENSCO International ("ENSCO") is a Premier Global Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling Contractor
providing services which are essential to oil companies in their worldwide exploration and
development efforts. The Company’s fleet is strategically located in the most prolific domestic and
international oil and gas markets.
Issues:
Solution:
Manual inventory processes
Want for better spare part and inventory
management on the rig
Track preventative maintenance on
spares
Better asset visibility
Used CATAMARAN asset visibility
Visibility in the warehouses and across many
rigs of their inventory
Integration into PeopleSoft
Barcodes were implemented
CATAMARAN gave the ability to store and
record data about spare parts and process that
were carried out on each while also giving
visibility of inventory life cycles
