[Via Satellite 02-11-2016] Lockheed Martin’s Aeronautics Division has selected Orbcomm’s turnkey iApp platform as a replacement to its existing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based data collection solution. The iApp platform will enable automated data capture, processing, traceability and analysis of assets located at global storage sites that Lockheed Martin manages along with its partners and sellers.

Orbcomm will leverage Lockheed Martin’s next generation Automated Identification Technology (AIT) infrastructure to automate its data collection system. The company’s iApp platform will locate and track mission-critical assets enabled with RFID readers using a single enterprise solution.
