Self-inventorying SMART Container

ODIN is claiming a first in automated technology for tracking critical assets with the launch of the ODIN self-inventorying SMART Container. The company claims the system goes beyond basic security and location tracking for a given container by providing detailed visibility of items inside the container via passive UHF RFID. It can transmit item-level data to any ERP system over various communications media, including satellite, cellular and active RFID.

    A new IDTechEx report, Autonomous Vehicles: Land, Water, Air 2015-2035 claims autonomous vehicles are successful here and now but you are unlikely to meet one because the successes are in the upper atmosphere, open cast mines, nuclear power stations, underwater and in other relatively inaccessible places. It goes on to explains that the primary technology of an autonomous vehicle is that which confers autonomy and the powertrain, which is usually electric. The powertrain and navigation and control technolo
