RFID Tracks Hazmat Waste Management Chain of Custody

GlobeRanger and Bechtel Jacobs collaborate to manage hazardous waste disposal at East Tennessee Technology Park with RFID technology, ensuring that the appropriate level of tracking is in place to support the chain of custody. ...

... "Utilizing GlobeRanger iMotion software platform, the system is designed to automatically identify vehicles at designated checkpoints, thus giving Bechtel Jacobs visibility into real-time material tracking as well as the ability to remotely manage the RFID systems, even in locations where infrastructures may be non-existent.

GlobeRanger software is responsible for collecting and processing data from a variety of devices including handhelds, fixed RFID readers and weigh scales. The system, based on strict business logic and workflow guidelines, instantly flags and provides alerts and notifications if processes or time schedule variances deviated from pre-defined Bechtel Jacobs’s route expectations. In the first ten months, the system has processed over 17,000 trucks, resulting in increased efficiencies, reduced carbon footprint and significant cost avoidance. " ...
