Omnitrol, Croop-LaFrance Provide RFID-Based Tracking Solutions for Aerospace and Defense Industries
By Anuradha Shukla TMCnet Contributing Editor
Omnitrol Networks has inked a strategic deal with Croop-LaFrance, an IT solutions provider serving both the commercial and government sectors to delivering end-to-end, EPC-based traceability and tracking solutions for the aerospace and defense industries.
Advancing the use of RFID technologies, the companies’ joint traceability and tracking solutions enhance supply chain, MRO, logistics and manufacturing processes. The creation of a real time “sense and respond” network enhances Global Asset Tracking, Item Level Track & Trace, Part Pedigree, Warranty Tracking, and MR&O Work-In-Progress (WIP) Tracking and Alerting.
According to Omnitrol Networks, their OMNITROL Asset and WIP Tracking and Traceability Solutions are at the center of the partnership. The company explains that the solution evolves existing manual and barcode tracking to EPC (Electronic Product Code) based tags automatically from existing shop floor business processes.
Both the companies will target key accounts for the OMNITROL Asset and WIP solutions.
David Croop, CEO of Croop-LaFrance, said in a statement that the aerospace and defense industries are constantly looking for better ways to manage complexity. These industries aim to create 'sense and respond' supply chains that help “war fighters” increase availability of their weapons systems to ensure mission readiness.
Croop added that Omnitrol Networks' award-winning track and trace infrastructure solution is a proven, scalable and elegant approach to help existing ERP, MRO, and logistical systems achieve these goals in the aerospace and defense sectors.
Raj Saksena, president and CEO of Omnitrol Networks, said that Croop-LaFrance has a stellar record of deploying solutions based on best-of-breed technologies. He indicated that its exceptional expertise, combined with their proven EPC-global asset tracking and traceability solution, will result in a powerful resource for aerospace and defense Industries seeking to solve and scale the challenges faced in maintaining complete traceability of their assets.
Croop-LaFrance is a privately held, Native American Certified 8A Small Business company headquartered in Rochester, NY. The company currently holds a GSA (News - Alert) contract with the federal government.
