Overview Automated data collection of container events worldwide could boost the speed at which industry efficiency can be addressed. Active Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) has the capability to deliver what other technologies such as passive RFID and GPS cannot, and advances in RFID standards and supporting technology now allow it to be deployed more cost effectively than before. Motorola and IAS are developing the concept of a Container Visibility System that would deploy an RFID reader network around the world, partner with ocean carriers and equipment lessors to tag the global container fleet within 3-4 years, and link the resulting automated data flow to carrier systems and third-party applications that serve the ocean carriers and their customers. This White Paper describes the Container Visibility System.
