Hive’s general portfolio of offerings in SC&L Hive Technology is an identification and monitoring technology that can be used across all aspects of supply chain and logistics. The technology can address unique problems in this vertical by the mere fact that the technology can operate across silos. A good example is the use of One ID in the Supply Chain and Logistics space to examine how the technology can track and monitor shipping containers across multiple organisational and national boundaries. The technology can be used locally in ports, container yards and by logistics companies with Hive readers in every installation globally. The Hive readers are USB or serial devices that can be added to existing networked infrastructure. The reader infrastructure can be used for all Hive One IDs and can be used in these different environments to track staff, vehicles, assets and shipments updating the IP address specified on the Hive One ID. The same infrastructure can update a central container database with global container movements. The containers can be tracked when on open sea or in the container yards. The containers can also be tracked while being transported by rail or road. The accurate location of containers can be determined where readers are equipped with GPS or else via Hive Location IDs that provide the accurate
position of the readers. The central container database allows for any authorised individual in the value chain to find the container whereabouts and whether in use. The container’s Hive One ID can also be equipped with movement sensors and anti-tamper sensors that will allow the logistics partners to monitor not only the container but also to ensure that the container is not tampered with. Where tampering results in an alarm condition, an alarm condition may be transmitted to a suitable security service provider close to where the container is located. The container database will also update wherever the container is seen by a public reader next to motorways, intersections and parking areas. The technology enables the collection of data in a central database even though the assets, in this case containers, are in use by thousands of logistic partners globally. Single identification is also a key enabler of product lifecycle management. Single identification enables tracking of products from origin to disposal. The Hive OEM model allows for the technology to be included in products to not only uniquely identify the product but also to transmit usage and error codes directly from the product to the manufacturer.
Hive Technology CEO Gert Botha on: Vision:
Hive Technology will aim to enable existing solution providers to the SC&L industry with its single identification technology and implementation methods that will provide new and innovative options to improve and simplify internal as well as client processes.
Technology Statement:
Single Identification technology will simplify the way logistics operators identify, monitor and secure goods or stock throughout the value chain. Exposing this information to partners and client can be simplified dramatically.
