Smart Government Systems

By Tim Lindner
Manager, Sony Professional Services

With the Department of Defense leading the nation in adoption of advanced supply chain technologies such as RFID, and with government agencies constantly redefining state of the art in Command and Control systems, government systems designers are now progressing to the next stage of development - Machine to Machine or M2M technology.

Haven't heard of "machine-to-machine" technology yet? You will soon enough. In the April 2006 Annual Technology Review edition of Inbound Logistics magazine, Sony Professional Services was featured in an editorial staff article about M2M technology applications for supply chain management and logistics.

The premise of M2M is important for any advanced system where real-time, objective data collection must be collected, and where smart monitoring applications and services need to be employed to improve centralized control of equipment, processes and facilities.

Sony Professional Services has become a technology leader in M2M implementation. The group is a division of the Broadcast and Business Solutions Company (BBSC) of Sony Electronics Inc. and is a leader in the development of service solutions for mission-critical business operations based upon M2M (machine to machine) remote monitoring, diagnostics and data aggregation applications. Our monitoring technologies and managed "smart" services that collectively address the requirements of improved supply chain efficiencies and operating cost reductions should be of interest to any government agency or organization that depends upon the movement, management and utilization of goods that are consumed in the provision of products and services to their customers.

To learn more about Sony's M2M capabilities and how they could be of benefit to your operations, please call Glenn Harrsch, Service Solutions Business Manager, at 201-930-7072.
