NASA - NASA Dryden Deploys ChemSecure Hazmat Management System

... "The ChemSecure pilot program integrates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and sensor-based technology with the Department of Defense's existing web-based Hazardous Materials Management System (HMMS) database to automate the real-time management of hazardous materials including usage, shipment, tracking and storage. The first project of its kind, NASA Dryden developed ChemSecure in close partnership with the Department of Defense and leading private sector companies, including Oracle Corp., Redwood Shores, Calif.; Intermec Technologies Corporation, headquartered in Everett, Wash.; EnvironMax, Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah; and Patlite (USA) Corporation of Torrance, Calif. ... ChemSecure utilizes data captured by Intermec 750 mobile computers, IP3 RFID mobile readers and fixed RFID readers, temperature sensors, and Patlite visual response devices to ensure that managers always have access to critical chemical information. For example, security professionals are notified if unauthorized access attempts are made to obtain highly hazardous materials, and environmental professionals are alerted when the storage limit of a hazardous chemical locker is close to exceeding capacity.
