Ennovasys approach is to create a "Future Chain" that provides end-to-end visibility of vehicles and products in the enterprise supply chain. This provides a framework for a modular approach in ensuring visibility either within specific points in the supply chain or with an all-encompassing view that extends visibility for trading partners with EPCIS standards based data-sharing. This solves a major pain-point of enterprises today, which is a lack of clear and upto-the-minute vehicle and product visibility throughout the supply chain. This enhances efficiencies throughout the supply chain by not only providing crucial vehicle and products data for informed decision-making, but also promotes the model of cooperative and collaborative information sharing for mutual benefit. The Supply Chain Visibility Solution support RFID, as also seamless integration with GPS, Sensors and Mobile technologies.

The Visibility Solution provides complete visibility for products at every stage of the distribution process whether they move from the factory to the distributor/wholesaler or from the distributor/wholesaler to the retail store. This is the ideal logistics solution for anytime product visibility wherever they are as they traverse an enterprise's supply chain. Our visibility solution is built on top of our PistaSuite platform.

PistaSuite is a unified location platform which provides the necessary data visibility for supply chain process automation and increase in-transit visibility using technologies like GPS, and RFID. Combination of RFID and GPS gives a complete range of visibility from inside the premise to outside.

Customers and partners need a scalable yet affordable Location (LBS) Engine to build their solutions to solve various business problems. Engine should be capable of integrating the data from various edge devices to their current ERP systems. The merging of RFID, RTLS, GPS and Mobile requires a sophisticated location engine to extract the complete business value. A plug and play platform will drive adoption of location aware applications for enterprise and consumer use.

GPS and RFID devices will be attached to each automobile that gets tracked. Our system communicates with the cellular network (GPRS or CDMA) to collect the data from these devices. Once the data collected and stored in our central server, it can be extended to derive various business value as well as passed on to the ERP systems. For RFID the tags will be read by the readers placed within the premise. Reader will then communicate with or central server. By combining these data a full visibility can be achieved. Our system can be integrated with Boom-barriers and Digital cameras for automatic tracking vehicle movements inside and out the premise.

We can connect to multiple devices and network:We connect to different type of edge devices like RFID, GPS, WiFi, and Mobile. We connect to different type of networks like GPRS, CDMA. We provide connectivity to sensors like temperature, vibration, IR, motion and tamper-proof. We display the data in any windows mobile, iPhone, laptop, desktop or connect direct to the ERP systems. Once the data is collected we integrate this with your enterprise systems using JMS, web services or thru excel data. This data can be used by your manufacturing, warehouse inventory and billing systems.

We provide extensibility: . Our engine is a web based system. It allows users to access the data from anywhere in their enterprise. System can be accessed even outside the enterprise with proper security and firewall. This makes it easy to maintain, backup and upgrade. It also provides a standard user interface allowing the users to select their choice of browsers.
