Agenda:
| 11:00 AM | Welcome and IntroductionSpeaker:Mark Roberti, Founder and Editor, RFID Journal |
| 11:05 AM | Automating the Littoral Combat Ship Support Container Inventory Process With RFID Speed in responding to threats is vital to a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), which must be able to quickly replenish an existing mission package or swap out for a new one. The presence of a critical maintenance item for a required piece of equipment within a container can mean the difference between the success or failure of a mission. Learn how the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is automating its LCS support container inventory process. Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Mine Countermeasures Systems for Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Advanced Flight Mission Package Program, the Mission Package Automated Inventory Information System (MPAIIS) uses government-developed software and commercial off-the-shelf hardware and passive RFID tags to form a comprehensive inventory system. MPAIIS offers warfighters an incredible advantage, and provides inventory control, configuration management and asset tracking, with high accuracy and fast response times. By utilizing MPAIIS, a warfighter can be assured that he or she will always have the proper tool in the correct place at the right time.
