AVANTE International has more than 15 years of history of innovations with the use of smart cards and RFID for personnel and product security. The company was the first to provide smart card electronic access control systems and the first RFID solution tradeshow and event attendance management system in the 90's. AVANTE pioneered the combination of active RFID and secure passive RFID technology in a single ISO card size personnel badge for personnel and assets visibility with advanced electronic access control management system and real-time locating system (RTLS) capability which can be activated either by the individual in need of help, or activated centrally to speed up emergency evacuation and management.
The company was also the first to develop the use of radio frequency electromagnetic signal strength ratio as received (RSSI) for cargo transport monitoring and cargo tracking using RFID device with different sensors placed inside the cargo container to provide intrusion detection from all size sides of a cargo container and trailer. The cargo tracking solution also provides data of temperature, shock, moisture inside the container box. The outside reader-monitoring RELAYER is equipped with GPS for geo-location and Cellular (GPRS) and/or Satellite communications (SATCOM) to provide real-time alerts when exceptions or intrusions occurred.
The system also associates the driver and other transportation staff via the use of personnel ZONER badges to the shipping process to provide a holistic view of the end-to-end supply chain security. The patented AVANTE Supply Chain Security Monitoring Solution provides a true real-time end-to-end container intrusion detection and cargo tracking solution rather than choke-point visibility. The enhanced cargo security and safety paid for itself in reducing thefts and adjudicating losses for ocean, air, and cold-chain and supply chain cargo containers shipping. Many aspects of the Cargo Tracking Solution and particularly for hazmant application have been tested and verified by EPA EVT program.
