AP2 - Application Product 2 (Military)

Managing Maintenance Logistics for Armored Vehicle Power Units (PU)

Armored Vehicles are vital for defense missions and cannot afford spending time at workshops. So whenever a PU needs some service, the PU is replaced and only the PU gets into the workshop. This procedure is very efficient for maintaining combat readiness but makes logistics management a key issue.

Etcom with the IDF has developed procedure based on installing large memory RFID tags on PU’s and with a handheld terminal all maintenance files, reports, history records, etc. are managed on the Tag.

 

A fixed infrastructure of Readers enables status and position reporting in real time to headquarters from anywhere in the base, field and workshop for generating real-time combat readiness reports.

A pilot with the IDF was conducted successfully on summer 2005 based on Savi Technology products. Such a complete solution is appealing for many similar customers worldwide. Obviously this solution can be extended to other similar key systems, so the number of potential projects is very large.
