Environmental Consignment Monitoring
published: cw 10, 2005 in Supply Chain Technology & RFIDEnvironmental Consignment Monitoring (ECM) uses RFID tags to record, store and deliver temperature data remotely to a local computer or to a handheld reader, enabling the receiver of goods to monitor the condition of goods during every stage of the transportation process.
ECM is gaining prominence within the agricultural industry. Primary producers and buyers can measure and monitor the temperature of fresh produce as it is transported from the farm gate to the marketplace, and if temperatures fluctuate outside a predetermined range, immediate action can be taken to save a shipment.
