Savi and ODIN are partnering to offer the industry’s first and most comprehensive software platform leveraging both passive and active RFID technologies.

The fully integrated solution will broaden and enrich customers’ ability to track and manage in real-time their items, supply chain assets and transport conveyances such as containers and vehicles.

The companies have joined forces to develop the latest generation of RFID software that will exploit the full range of RFID and related automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technologies.

“With ODIN’s depth of experience with passive RFID and Savi’s two decades of experience with active RFID, together we can bring the best of both worlds to improve the visibility of all kinds of supply chain assets and asset management performance, ” said David Stephens, CEO of Savi Technology.

“With Savi and ODIN seamlessly integrating our respective solutions, we can bring a single off-the-shelf solution with near perfect accuracy,” said Patrick J. Sweeney II, founder of ODIN.

Both Stephens and Sweeney emphasized that many of their existing clients in aerospace, defense and healthcare have asked for a unified active-passive RFID software platform for multiple uses, ranging from tool tracking to work-in-process.

The Savi-ODIN offering will combine Savi’s active RFID SmartChain software suite and ODIN’s EasyEdge for passive RFID devices to automate the collection of passive and active RFID data onto a single platform.
