The U.S military is one of the most powerful in the world. And, with such great power comes a greater duty to manage its assets properly. From effectively managing and tracking assets, reducing spending on unneeded supplies and eliminating storing obsolete items, the U.S. Army needs technology that assists with military asset management.
DT Research has been working hand in hand with the U.S military in providing flexible, efficient rugged tablets that enable easy tracking of all assets. Here are some of the advantages of using DT Research rugged tablets in military settings.
Asset Tracking
Accounting for and tracking supplies, equipment, and military vehicles are critical for keeping personnel safe and missions moving forward, a delay in any of these can cause a jam in logistics. RFID tracking systems can help maintain in-depth records of what equipment has been handled and by whom to ensure the item is there when needed. DT Research military-grade rugged tablets are integrated with an Ultra High-Frequency RFID reader that uses the latest in RFID technology to increase the read distance of RFID tags to enhance the security, accountability, and efficiency of U.S army. The reader is designed to track and inventory weapons, supplies, vehicles, and equipment as these items are issued, returned, and stored. This system maintains a complete chain of custody on each asset in the database from initial acquisition to final arrival as well as actively managing personnel access to those assets.
Maintenance Tracking
With DT Research military-grade rugged tablets with asset tracking, the tracking of maintenance requests and fulfillments are streamlined. Personnel gains full visibility on tasks such as when maintenance was performed, who performed it, and the overall cost by creating maintenance reports. Ultimately, the ability to track, test, measure, and perform maintenance on equipment and vehicles ensures that every piece of equipment is working efficiently and is ready to use when needed.
Timely Reporting
One of the key advantages of using handheld rugged tablets is the ability to quickly report on the status of equipment and supplies anytime and anywhere. Anyone on the network with network access can communicate in real-time about supplies, equipment, or vehicle needs. This real-time communication allows for better decision making in the field and on the base.
The U.S military has thousands of supplies and assets that need to be regularly monitored and tracked. Utilizing military-grade tablets enhances the efficiency and internal processes for personnel, thus saving time, task redundancy, and money to improve military operations.
