Universal Guardian Offering DOD Suppliers Tagging
Systems
April 6, 2007—The following are news announcements
made during the week of April 2.
Universal
Guardian Holdings, a provider of integrated transportation and
global supply chain security systems, has introduced two new secure
shipment platforms, TAGeasy and TAGstation, for suppliers to the Department
of Defense. TAGeasy enables suppliers to utilize an online RFID label
fulfillment system to order RFID labels for application to cases, containers
and pallets of goods headed for RFID-enabled DOD depots, as required
by DOD contracts. The system also generates an advance shipment notice
(ASN). The service costs $30 per month, plus $.19 per RFID label, with
a one-year subscription. TAGstation is a secure, online tagging station
that includes an RFID printer-encoder
designed to generate RFID labels for shipments. TAGstation also produces
ASNs and provides end-to-end order tracking and asset visibility through
Universal's Web-based Total Asset Guardian (TAG) software, which generates
shipping and receiving reports based on tag reads. The TAGstation service
and hardware cost $299 per month and $.17 per label.
