"The United States Marine Corps has been honoured with the Best RFID Implementation (Other Industry) award at RFID JOURNAL LIVE! 2025 for its innovative development and deployment of the Marine Corps Platform Integration Centre (MCPIC) — a transformative system that is revolutionizing asset management and operational readiness across the Corps.
"The MCPIC platform leverages advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, including RF Controls’ Passive RTLS Overhead Antennas, to provide real-time visibility into mission-critical equipment. By tagging and tracking key assets with inexpensive, battery-free, passive RFID tags the system has dramatically improved inventory efficiency and accuracy. What once required weeks of manual inventory now takes just hours — a breakthrough that not only enhances mission readiness but also yields substantial cost savings.
"Through the implementation of MCPIC, the Marine Corps has achieved:
• Dramatic reduction in inventory time – from weeks to mere hours.
• Significant increase in inventory accuracy, ensuring critical gear is accounted for and mission ready.
• Millions of dollars in labour savings, thanks to automation and streamlined processes.
"The RFID Journal Awards recognize excellence in the use of RFID technology across a range of industries. The Marine Corps’ achievement highlights the growing importance of smart logistics and asset tracking in military operations and sets a new benchmark for efficiency in defence logistics."
The RF Controls passive UHF RFID wide area scanning real time location system is fully integrated with Codegate's Lime asset tracking middleware and is installed in multiple manufacturing sites in the UK.
