Savi to build RFID lane between Savannah and Shanghai
Shanghai International Port Group, the Georgia Ports Authority and radio frequency identification systems developer Savi Networks on Tuesday said they plan to launch an RFID-based network that automatically tracks the location and security of containerized cargo transported between the ports of Shanghai and Savannah.
The project was unveiled at the Third Annual China Trade and Logistics Conference in Savannah.
SIPG and Savi Networks have jointly developed a localized China RFID network, which includes electronic seal and GPS integrated handheld, for the 'Shanghai-Savannah Express Trade Lane Project.' The network builds on a project previously conducted by SIPG from Shanghai to Yantai.
After completion of the project, SIPG and Savi Networks will extend the RFID network to terminal facilities operated by SIPG at the Port of Shanghai, one of the world's largest and busiest ports and key gateway for products manufactured in China and shipped to the United States.
The Port of Savannah already uses an RFID system developed by Savi.
